North Dakota Governor's School

We had the privilege of hosting a project as part of the 2026 North Dakota Governor’s School, a prestigious state-legislated summer residential program held on the NDSU campus. This highly selective program brings together 50 of North Dakota’s most outstanding high school students every other summer for an intensive four-week academic experience. It was a true honor to work with such motivated and high-achieving students as they explored advanced topics in STEM!
