ANNAPOLIS, Md.—Applications are being accepted Feb. 1 through April 1 for the United States Naval Academy (USNA) Summer STEM Program 2010. STEM is held in three sessions: June 7-12, June 14-19 and June 21-26.
The academy’s Summer STEM Program is an overnight academic camp designed for rising 8th-11th grade students in good academic standing who have an interest in math and science.

The academy’s current students, known as midshipmen, help run the Summer STEM Program and act as camp counselors and tutors to students.
