The Academy augments research with a senior scientist, engineer or other professional with interactive sessions with leaders in government, industry, and academia, a collaborative group project, lectures, field trips, oral and written presentations and middle & high school mentoring. The RAs gain experience in world-class laboratories, and build bonds with other future leaders including Academy alumni.
