In July, Explora hosted 22 high school students from across the country for the AFRL STEM Scholars Program, a hands-on experience focused on STEM skills, careers, and professional development. Students learned Python programming and applied it to machine learning with an instructor from New Mexico Tech, visited local STEM facilities, connected with STEM professionals from New Space, and developed career skills through résumé building and professional headshots.
The impact of the program continued beyond the summer experience. Participant Krish used the Python skills he learned at camp to simulate a research paper on magnetohydrodynamic pumps using Ubuntu. He also used Explora’s 3-D printers to build an apparatus for his physical experiment and plans to submit his research for publication. “The code I learned helped, but the 3-D printers that were available at Explora helped me build the apparatus for my physical experiment,” Krish shared. “It was an unforgettable experience.” His experience highlights how AFRL STEM Scholars gives students practical skills and resources they can apply to real-world STEM research and future careers.
Thank you, USRA and AFRL, for your support in creating impactful summer learning opportunities!
