The Office of Intramural Training & Education at the National Institutes of Health is seeking motivated, hard-working students who are interested in STEM careers to apply to the High School Scientific Training and Enrichment Programs (HiSTEP for juniors and HiSTEP 2.0 for seniors)! This is a paid summer internship opportunity and we are specifically seeking students who have little to no prior out-of-school STEM hands-on experiences.

When:  Tuesday, December 15th at 4pm
REGISTER HERE: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/6976810707918634763

If you are unable to attend live, the recording will be available by following the same link after the session.

About the programs:

In HiSTEP, rising high school seniors (current juniors) explore the biomedical sciences and STEM careers through a variety of activities over six weeks (June 29-Aug 5).  Students leave the program with a better understanding of available biomedical careers, skills to continue career exploration, a support network of mentors, and a college application foundation and plan for the fall.

In HiSTEP 2.0, rising college freshmen (current seniors) have the opportunity to spend seven weeks  (June 21-Aug 6) as a summer intern (virtually) working under the mentorship of NIH research scientists and clinicians. In addition, students participate in a curriculum that prepares them for the transition to college.

Distance Learning Hotline

PGCPS Distance Learning Hotline will provide live assistance to parents/families in order to address and resolve concerns arising during the period of Distance Learning for students.   Parent/Guardians can call 240-696-6229 on Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM for live assistance for technical/equipment issues and/or instructional guidance and support. 

Parent Centers

PGCPS heard from parents and guardians during the implementation of distance learning this past winter/spring 2020 – assistance was needed in the areas of technology, instruction, and other supports. Thus we have strategically designated locations throughout PGCPS where parents can receive assistance with technology, accessing and navigating platforms, and other troubleshooting.

The safety of parents and staff is paramount.  Social distancing will be adhered to. Site stipulations require that all visitors wear masks. Visitors should arrive at their designated appointment time and will be instructed that only one person may enter the facility per family and children may not enter the facility.  The temperature of each center worker and each visitor will be scanned upon entry into the site.  Anyone with a temperature greater than 100 degrees will not be allowed to remain on site.  No children are allowed into the Support Center.  Parents must make arrangements for their child’s safety outside of the Parent Support Center.
