Our Spring workshops are to allow students to gain perspective into different areas of STEM, learn from a professional in their field about what they do, and how they got to where they are now. Every month (once a month) is a new topic, with a different speaker, or multiple speakers. Each workshop has a unique hands on activity implemented with the speaker’s topic.<\/p>\n
Participants in good standing from the Spring events will receive priority enrollment processing for the Summer 2026 CARE program, and a stipend.<\/p>\n
The spring workshop application is open!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n You can attend either virtually or in-person. All events will be held on NAU campus from 5-8pm AZ Time.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n \n To comply with federal funding eligibility for CARE has been modified:<\/p>\n This paperwork needs to be submitted to Kaelyn.Acothley@nau.edu by January 23, 2026 upon acceptance.
