Bristol Bay Native Corporation partners with ANSEP for STEM education

Thanks to support from Bristol Bay Native Corporation, the Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program hosted 54 middle school students at its May Middle School Academy. Hailing from communities across the state, Southwest Alaska to the Far North, the students gained insight into the college lifestyle and got hands-on experience in science, technology, engineering and math.

Throughout the two-week ANSEP component, the students lived on the University of Alaska Anchorage campus and participated in activities designed to foster an early enthusiasm for STEM education, including a balsa bridge build, planetarium excursion and visit to the Alaska SeaLife Center.
