The program offers a unique opportunity to learn about STEM's role in public safety through hands-on, challenge-based learning and direct interaction with professionals in law enforcement, fire protection, and emergency medical services.
The STEP: STEM in Law Enforcement & Public Safety program offers high school students a hands-on exploration of how science, technology, engineering, and mathematics are applied in public safety careers. Participants will delve into the roles of law enforcement, fire protection, and emergency medical services within communities. The curriculum includes practical experiences with cutting-edge technology such as drones and cybersecurity tools used for public safety. Students will work in teams to gather information about various professional roles, culminating in a Design Challenge Project presented to a panel of judges. This challenge-based learning approach mirrors real-world scenarios, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork. The program emphasizes developing leadership skills like communication, ethical decision-making, and collaboration, essential for future careers in STEM and public safety.
Students spend the first three days gathering information about various public safety professions, followed by a Design Challenge Project on Thursday, and a presentation to judges on Friday.
This program is ideal for high school students who have completed at least one year of high school and are interested in the application of STEM in law enforcement, fire protection, and emergency medical services.
