Science and Technology Entry Program (STEP)

The STEP program is sponsored by the New York State Education Department. The mission of the Science and Technology Entry Program is to prepare historically under-represented or economically disadvantaged secondary school students (grades 7-12) for entry into postsecondary degree programs in the scientific, technical, health-related fields, and in the licensed professions. The program emphasizes educational enrichment class work related to careers in the targeted fields. Some courses include robotics, hydroponics, physics, SAT prep, regents prep etc. Additional activities include academic advisement and counseling to apprise students of the opportunities and prerequisites for the pursuit of their career goals.
