The ARC/ORNL High School Summer Math-Science-Technology Institute is a two-week, fully funded, residential, hands-on learning experience for Appalachia's high school teachers in STEM-related fields. Hosted by Oak Ridge Associated Universities in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, the program is a gateway to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in the Appalachian region. Many participants come from economically distressed counties and often increase their exposure to applied science and STEM research through this experience. All participants work with scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, one of the largest U.S. Department of Energy research facilities in the United States. High school teachers work with science practitioners to develop STEM-related curriculum. The program culminates in a graduation ceremony where participants showcase their work.
