Free Immersive STEM Program for Students in Grades 6-8 at NMSU

Empowering students with STEM and entrepreneurship skills to help build future success

New Mexico State University is excited to collaborate with Verizon and the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE) to present a free, project-based immersive STEM program – Verizon Innovative Learning STEM Achievers. This opportunity is available for middle school students.

Verizon Innovative Learning STEM Achievers aims to empower middle school students in under-resourced communities to explore STEM subjects, learn problem-solving skills, and gain exposure to career opportunities in technology fields. Participating students will benefit from mentorship, access to next-gen technology, and hands-on training connected to real-world challenges. The program offers engaging content where 6th-8th-grade students can delve into design thinking, 3D printing, augmented reality, and social entrepreneurship. No prior knowledge or experience is required.

This program kicks off with a 3-week, in-person session in the Summer, with additional in-person full-day workshops at NMSU in the Fall and Spring. Food for participating students will be provided!

Verizon Innovative Learning STEM Achievers is part of the company’s education initiative, addressing barriers to digital inclusion under Citizen Verizon, the company’s responsible business plan to help move the world forward for all.
