What opportunities exist for my child at Shodor?
- If you live in the Triangle Area of North Carolina:
- 6-12th Grade Students — Most students start their Shodor experience in a SUCCEED Workshop. These workshops get students excited about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics; no prior experience with computers or science is required. Workshops are held during the summer and on weekends during the year. There are fees, but scholarships are available.
- 9-12th Grade Students — Students who wish to continue learning at Shodor after a SUCCEED workshop may apply for a SUCCEED Apprenticeship. Students build their science and technology experience while working on real projects during this year-round program. Stipends are offered to students upon satisfactory completion of projects.
- 10th Grade - College Students — Any student with an expertise in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics — including graduates of the Apprenticeship program — may apply for a paid, hourly internship. Interns work with Shodor staff to help build and maintain some of the best materials on the web for math and science education. These students' work is put to use by educators and learners around the world.
- If you do not live in the Triangle Area:
- Shodor provides some of the best math and science learning resources on the Internet. We offer activities and lessons appropriate for all students, elementary through undergraduate, and all of our content is free. Shodor's resources can be used not only in the classroom, but as a study aid, or just for exploration and experimentation.
