New Programs
We've added several new programs. High school girls will be interested in Engineer Your Life, a guide to engineering for high school girls where you can learn about engineering, meet inspiring women, and find your dream job (on our research page)
All high schoolers interested in NASA will want to check out the INSPIRE online community where they can connect with scientists and other like-minded students. By joining the community, students will get an opportunity to compete for a visit to NASA or possibly a summer internship.
High School Students! Now is the Time to Get Real
Computer science is all about solving problems. GetReal.ous.edu is a collaborative effort between Oregon teachers, Oregon Industry, and the Oregon University System to provide up-to-date computer science career information.
Now is the time to explore what you like doing, find out what you are good at, and then find a career that matches with your hopes and interests.
