Last summer, engineering camp students worked together to create the tallest tower possible with the craft supplies made available to them.

This summer, as an icebreaker, local VICEROY Scholars did the same thing.

The prompt is the same; the parallels are striking.

When students have access to science, technology, engineering, and math at a young age, there's no limit to how far they'll soar.

This is a snapshot of the pipeline - connecting K-12 learning to scholarly internships to, eventually, full-grown careers.
