WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT

High Schoolers Reap Benefits of STEM Research

Three area high school students spent their summer with Stockton faculty members studying the function of proteins and the fluorescent properties of a known organic molecule, as part of the Research and Engineering Apprenticeship (REAP) at Stockton.

The students presented their findings at the Research and Engineering Apprenticeship Symposium on Aug. 6.

REAP gives rising high school seniors and juniors from underrepresented populations the opportunity to work directly with professors on a STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) project in a safe, supportive and inclusive environment. At the end of their 200 hours of research, students discuss their findings and answer questions from the audience during the symposium.
