What is SMASSS?
SMASSS, one of the programs of the Center for Science, Math and Technology Education at North Carolina Central University, is a three year continuous science and math enhancement program consisting of a summer camp and school year Saturday Academies. It provides creative science enrichment for 8th through 10th grade students, with an interest in science, and whom teachers have identified as having high potential with some added support.
Students accepted as 8th graders for the 2009 summer camp and Saturday Academy have the opportunity to remain in SMASSS for an additional two years (Summer 2009 – school year 2011-2012).
The long-term goal of the SMASSS program is to increase the number of students who are both interested and competitively prepared to pursue college studies and subsequently enter careers in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) area.
