Newly accredited ASU summer program opens up STEM opportunities for underrepresented students
Jenavieve Echegaray, who will begin studies in manufacturing engineering in the Fulton Schools in the fall, is among students participating in ASU’s Joaquin Bustoz Math-Science Honors Program academic camp this summer. The program prepares incoming ASU students for the rigors of studies in STEM subjects. By completing the camp course, students will earn three college credits for studies in math, science and engineering. Echegaray says the experience showed that college “doesn’t have to be super hard or scary.” Kenneth Ho, who plans to major in computer science and eventually work as a software engineer, said the program is good preparation for the transition from high school to college.
