REAP provides valuable hands-on research experience and mentorship from university faculty, specifically targeting and supporting students from underrepresented backgrounds in STEM.
The Research Education Apprenticeship Program (REAP) at NC State University offers high school students from underrepresented and underserved groups in STEM the opportunity to engage in full-time research. Apprentices work under the direct supervision of a faculty mentor in NC State labs, gaining hands-on experience in scientific research. The program aims to motivate students toward STEM careers, expand their understanding of scientific research, and expose them to experiences not typically available in high school. Participants are actively involved in the philosophy and objectives of scientific research, often involving data analysis and mathematical modeling. The program culminates in a symposium presentation, allowing students to showcase their findings and develop communication skills. REAP apprenticeships are typically 5-8 weeks in length, requiring a minimum of 200 hours of participation.
Apprentices typically spend their days in university research programs, performing experiments and carrying out research activities under the tutelage of a professional mentor.
This program is ideal for talented high school students from groups historically under-represented and underserved in STEM who are interested in pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
