K-12 team attends SHPE convention

Two high school STEP scholars, Calvin Davis and Alexia Savage, worked together on a research project that they showcased at various Junior Science and Humanities Symposium competitions. They first presented at the Central/Western New York Subregional JSHS competition, held in January at RIT. They placed first, which punched their ticket to the two-day regional event in Albany.

RIT’s summer day camp—Camp Tiger—offers four weeks of hands-on-learning in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. New this year is a partnership with Rochester City Ballet that brings dance programs to RIT’s new creative center, the SHED.

AEOP replaces "apprenticeships" with "internships" in new title and messaging efforts with a rebranding that aims to provide more clarity to the community within the Army Educational Outreach Program.

This year’s RIT-RPHS capstone program allowed small groups of students from the Rochester-based charter school to work with faculty in one of five subject areas. On Feb. 13, final presentations were made at Ingle Auditorium to an audience of their families, peers and teachers; leadership from the K-12 University Center; and distinguished guests such as RIT President David Munson, who made a welcoming address.
