- Description
- Fort Detrick is utilizing a mentorship concept that has been labeled as Near-Peer to interest middle, high school, and college students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) curricula. Near-Peers are instructors that are either in high school or early college years. They lead the middle school interns through interactive science experiments and engineering projects in a summer education enhancement program called Young Engineers and Scientists (YES). A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, Fort Detrick and Hood College and Frederick County Public Schools (FCPS) has been in place for several years for Fort Detrick sponsoring the Young Engineers and Scientists (YES) program. It is their goal to establish a STEM education program with both public and private schools in Frederick County and Hood College. This proposal will prepare Near-Peer mentors with tools and curricula to teach student interns in laboratories at Hood College. The on-campus summer internships will permit USAMRMC and USAG scientists and personnel to influence and support students and teachers. It will introduce middle school students to future college dreams. Because of the existing MOA no other education entity will be solicited to provide the needed services.
