The Pre-College Experience

The BEYA Pre-College Program has been an integral part of the conference since its’ inception. We’ve partnered with organizations such as the Maryland Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) program, various school districts, and the Patriots Technology Training Center to present programs for middle school and high school students at the conference.

The workshops and activities have been valuable tools in helping to fill the STEM pipeline and have greatly benefited students by granting them exposure to STEM employers and professionals as well as providing the opportunity to meet with colleges and universities.
