***** SCIENCE & ENGINEERING APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM (SEAP). The
Science and
Engineering Apprentice Program (SEAP), sponsored by George
Washington
University and the Department of Defense, is an eight week summer
program
for high school students. SEAP is designed so that students can
apprentice
in fields of their choice with experienced scientists and
engineers. This
opportunity provides students with valuable experience needed to
make
informed career decisions. Students apprentice with their mentors
on
mutually agreed upon projects. At Army Research facilities, the
students
apprentice in a professional research laboratory setting and
learn how their
research can benefit the Army as well as the civilian community.
Because of
the setting, students are treated as research assistants rather
than just
teenagers. First year participants are awarded an educational
stipend of
$2000.
The students contribute to the research of the laboratory while
learning
research techniques in the process. This "hands-on"
experience gives
students a broader view of their fields of interest and shows
students what
kind of work awaits them in their future career. The students
also attend
demonstrations and go on field trips to learn more about the
inner workings
of an Army Research Laboratory. At the end of the summer, the
students
prepare final reports and present their research at a final
seminar.
For more information please e-mail to:

marine-related career, first you should enroll in as many
chemistry, earth
science, biology, physics, computer science, and mathematics
classes as
possible in high school. Also think about participating in a
science fair,
the ocean science bowl or an intern program that will give you
hands-on
experience. Some of the many ocean science-related programs

***** ARMY EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAM: Army Educational
Outreach Program
(AEOP). The United States Army has long recognized that a
scientifically and
technologically literate citizenry is our nation�s best hope for
a secure,
rewarding and successful future. For over 50 years, the Army has
supported a
wide range of educational opportunities in Science, mathematics,
engineering
and technology for our youth and their teachers. Our nation�s
economy has
greatly benefited from the technological achievements of the last
century
and is destined for greater achievements throughout the 21st
century.
Science, mathematics, engineering and technology will continue to
play a
dominant role in all aspects of everyday life in the 21st
century. For this
reason, the Army has created the AEOP, which greatly expands and
integrates
an array of Army educational opportunities for the future
generations of
America�s workforce and their teachers. The AEOP is comprised of
Army-
sponsored research, education, competitions, internships and
practical
experiences designed to engage and guide students and teachers in
science,
mathematics, engineering and technology. From kindergarten
through graduate
school, students of all proficiency levels, interests, and
ethnic, economic
and academic backgrounds are encouraged to participate in real
world
experiences involving these important disciplines. Programs
involve
interactive activities and knowledgeable mentors to introduce
students to
these areas. Events include school visits, neighborhood
activities and
community science fairs. Engineers, scientists, mathematicians
and
technology experts, who act as mentors and guides, introduce
students to
various levels of research and engineering and provide advice on
career
opportunities and training. In AEOP, high-school students can
choose from a
wide range of educational challenges such as the Junior Science
and
Humanities Symposium or the International Mathematics Olympiad.
For those in
grades 6-9 who prefer cyberspace, eCYBERMISSION is an inclusive
web-based
science, mathematics and technology competition with significant
monetary
awards for small teams of students who are interested in open-
ended
challenges that are relevant and linked to their community. GEMS,
SEAP,
UNITE, ISEP and REAP provide hands-on internships to pre-college
students,
each program tailored to a different age and interest. Materials
World
Modules enables students and teachers from middle to high school
to
experience science through the process of self-discovery. AEOP
programs are
also available for college undergraduate and graduate students
that include
extensive scholarship opportunities available at numerous
institutions
across the country. The Army invites parents, students and
teachers in
communities across America to become familiar with AEOP. Taking
advantage of
its numerous educational opportunities available in science,
mathematics,
engineering and technology will ensure that America will continue
to
maintain its technological leadership in a globally competitive
world. For
