This could be your path...

This fall, we are launching a challenging new science and technology program that will offer after school workshops to academically talented Lowell and Lawrence students in grades 6 – 12. The "IDEA Academy" is for students who are interested in learning about, and DOING things with, science, technology, math and computers. It will be geared toward students who do fairly well in school, and who would be the first generation in their families to graduate from college – kids who might not even be able to imagine going to college, or know how to get there – we will help you to get there!

We will have our site up soon. In the meantime, email any questions to: ideaacademy@uml.edu
