ASME INSPIRE High School Scholarships
ASME INSPIRE High School Scholarship – Applications Open Through March 15th!
Are you a high school senior that aspires to be an engineer? Is learning how to be a creative problem-solver your career dreams?
Applications are now open for the ASME INSPIRE Scholarship, awarded by the ASME Foundation to high school seniors who intend to study engineering in their post-secondary education path. The endowed fund that supports the scholarship was established by the family of Lucy and Charles E.W. Clarke. A keen passion for engineering and understanding the challenges of limited financial resources to pursue one’s dream was the catalyst for establishing the Clarke Scholarship Fund that initiated this program. This year we are pleased to share that the ASME Foundation can award up to twenty (20) $2,000.00 individual scholarships.

Attention 7th Graders: Air Quality Contest
Attention 7th Graders: Air Quality Contest
Who:
The NC Department of Environmental Quality’s Division of Air Quality invites ALL NC 7TH GRADE STUDENTS to participate in the 2022-2023 AQ-IQ Contest!
What is the AQ-IQ Contest:
The annual North Carolina AQ-IQ Contest for seventh grade combines S.T.E.M. education and project-based learning with student creativity to teach air pollution science to students across the state. The contest gives these students an opportunity to learn about air quality and think about solutions to air pollution. It puts students in charge of creating a project to educate others about an air quality problem. In the past, projects have been posters, videos, Minecraft creations, games, and artistic projects off all sorts.
Each year the AQ-IQ contest gives out special awards for projects that meet one of the following categories:
· Air Pollution Monitoring and Control Technology
· Cleaner Cars, Cleaner Commutes, and Cleaner Air
· Pollution Free Electricity Technology
· The Science and Technology of Reversing Climate Change
Note: Depending on the number of statewide entries, a larger statewide AQ-IQ award ceremony may be held in June or July. Location and specific date to be announced. In general, entries will compete against other entries from their regions. However, the best regional projects may then be evaluated in the statewide AQ-IQ Contest for a statewide award.
Examples of past project winners can be found on the NC Air Awareness YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/user/NCAirAwareness/videos
When:
Now until midnight on March 11, 2023 students can create and submit their projects through this form .
Why:
The AQ-IQ contest allows students to explore their interests and strengths while engaging with the material and learning about air quality. Students are asked to think creatively while designing their projects. Watch our video to hear from teachers about why the AQ-IQ contest works in their classrooms: https://youtu.be/ArtLhL1z1hY
How:
Students need to follow the step-by-step Student Worksheet guide to develop an AQ-IQ project. Once completed, students submit their projects using the online form linked above. We ask students to include both their teacher’s and parent’s emails, as well as their project’s bibliography, when submitting.
For more information on the AQ-IQ contest, you can also visit the NC Environmental Education webpage.
