The United States Naval Academy (USNA) will be partnering with Trinity High School to promote interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).  This is part of an initiative at the USNA to encourage young women to consider STEM fields. Trinity students will have the opportunity to work on project-based STEM activities, led by current midshipmen and midshipwomen, beginning this April.  The USNA’s STEM Center for Education and Outreach is focused on addressing an urgent national need for more young people to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. USNA faculty and midshipmen provide STEM outreach to local and national communities to engage and influence students and teachers. Trinity High School was chosen because of their academic rigor, diverse population (over 45 zip codes), and Trinity’s leadership opportunities for young women.  All Trinity freshmen and sophomore students were invited to apply for the program’s 20 available openings. Trinity math teachers reviewed the applications and selected the cohort of student participants.  Students have expressed interest in the program for both the engaging STEM activities and the partnership with the USNA student leaders.
