2021 STEM Entrepreneurship Academy
In July 2021, 25 students from 9 Alabama high schools participated in the STEM Entrepreneurship Academy (SEA). After being held in a virtual setting in summer 2020, the 2021 SEA was hosted as a two-week day camp with students coming on campus to explore the STEM fields and develop ways to support needs in their school communities through entrepreneurship.
