Students in the new Discovering STEM in ACES Program (DSAP) engage in STEM-related learning activities focused on food, agriculture, human, and environmental systems. Students have the opportunity to work in their area of interest, with a team of their peers, lead by industry leaders, ACES staff, and current ACES students.
Two weeks of lectures, hands-on activities, and demonstrations centered on real-world issues will help students discover how ACES is related to to their career goals. Depending on the COVID-19 situation, one week will be conducted virtually via Zoom, and the second week will be in person on campus.
