The academy offers a free, flexible virtual experience with opportunities to earn digital badges and connect with STEM role models and professionals from The University of Texas at Austin.
The Women in STEM Virtual High School Summer Learning Academy (SLA) is a two-month online program for rising 10th-12th grade students. It focuses on developing STEM professional skills such as mindfulness in design, design thinking, and presentation skills. Participants engage with weekly informational newsletters aligned to digital badge content and attend weekly 'Role Model Monday Webinars' featuring alums, current students, and corporate partners who share their STEM experiences. The academy offers the opportunity to earn four digital badges that enhance STEM skills and can be added to a STEM resume, including a 'Data Science 101' badge. The program culminates in an end-of-camp celebration with a design challenge showcase and a UT Austin admissions presentation. Students spend 2-4 hours weekly on asynchronous activities, with the exception of the live webinars.
A typical week involves reviewing informational newsletters, completing asynchronous learning modules for digital badges, and attending a live 'Role Model Monday Webinar' from 12:00 – 12:50 p.m. CT.
This program is ideal for rising 10th-12th grade high school students of any gender interested in exploring STEM professional skills and career paths.
