WhaT IS DaPcEP?

We are a nonprofit organization with 40 years of experience partnering with universities, training programs, and K-12 school systems in order to connect youth to the best science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) educational experiences in Michigan.

DAPCEP students are between the ages of 4 and 18, and live in southeast Michigan. They attend public, private, charter, and home schools and love to explore new environments and make life-long friends.

During the spring and fall, thousands of students in Grades Pre-K-12 participate in dozens of different learning modules on university, corporate, and community campuses. Each learning module consists of a series of consecutive Saturdays (8 for Explorers, 6 for Pathfinders), ensuring students have the time to deeply explore the module subject, as well as forge lasting friendships. When summer rolls around, students in Grades 3-12 enjoy week-long camps and experience college life!

We have a large and supportive parent & alumni community that strives to provide our youth with even more resources and opportunities. We hope you’ll consider joining the DAPCEP family!

The STEM Squad is a team of professionals who work in the fields of science, technology, engineer-ing, mathematics, and medicine. Squad members are passionate about what they do and undergo intensive training with DAPCEP in order to bring pop-up STEM workshops to your school!

Every pop-up workshop is correlated to state education standards. The Squad has a hands-on, curriculum-based workshop at the elementary, middle, and high school levels (grades 3-12). Each workshop is 3-hours long and can either be done during the school day, or after-school (in one-hour segments over the course of three days).

We have 14 pop-up workshops available. Visit dapcep.org/programs/stemsquad for more info. We look forward to bringing STEM to you!

DAPCEP had a big impact on me because I got to go to MTU and get a college experi-ence. I even got my own planner to write down classes and keep track of my assign-ments and studies; I’d never had that experience before and it’s helped me. I met my best friends in the program and we’re still close. I opened up more because I just used to be so, so, so to myself! I’m going to South Carolina State University to study fashion design. When I was in the engineering program, I learned how to put togeth-er different things; in fashion there are a lot of engineering concepts. DAPCEP made me really pay attention to how engineering is an aspect in a lot of fields. To students: get in the program because it will change your life. I’m so glad I got a chance to ex-perience DAPCEP. - DAPCEP got me out of my comfort zone and showed me how to conduct myself in business situations. I made a lot of good friends, friends I know I’ll have for a long time. I’m a Gates Millennium Scholar. Last summer, we went up to U of M for a week and a half and they showed me that I could go there. READY brought to my attention that there are so many types of engineering and that I can combine math and science. I would say to others: don’t be shy, meet people because you’ll get everything out of DAPCEP. - When I was younger, I had a speech impediment that put me behind in reading, math, and science. Through the presentation aspect of the program, DAPCEP released my anxiety of talking in front of people. I joined DAPCEP and ever since then I’ve been at thetop of my class. It’s given me the opportunity to explore my curiosity, and it also opened me to a bunch of opportunities - I toured several universities throughout Michigan. I’m going to study mechanical engineering because I got to play with machinery in DAPCEP and it was really fun. - I wanted to become a pediatrician, but being exposed to engineering at MTU, I decided I wanted to be biomedical engineer. I worked making a prosthetic knee and I really enjoyed it and saw I could help people. I love the medical field, but discovering engineering and now being able to put them together in biomedical engineering is awesome. Before I was kind of shy and being part of the program, I met my best friends and we keep in touch. It helped my confidence, too, and I also learned how to network. I would say to other students, join the program! If you’re not interested in science and math, DAPCEP will get you really interested and you’ll also meet people who will help you in the long run. - Because of DAPCEP I got to look into careers I may not have been exposed to. READY has been a big impact on me, we have a brotherhood and the program teaches you how to give back to the community. I was on MSU’s campus and that gave me the exposure to the campus I would never have gotten, especially because I got to live there for two weeks. I’m going to major in telecommunications because I always had the dream to host a TV or radio show, and there’s engineer-ing behind broadcasting and DAPCEP helped show me that. . . . I would say to stu-dents that DAPCEP is definitely worth giving up a Saturday because you get to meet people who share the same views and also different views who can enlighten you to new ideas. If you’re in it the program, stick with it. - The biggest thing to me was the brotherhood over the four years we got to know each other in READY. Mr. Mur-phy pushed us and said, this is the home stretch and we need to push forward and get into college. The program was geared toward engineering, but the leadership aspect and the presentation preparation made me realize that I’m a good manager and I can lead by example. I would say to current students: don’t slack off any year, because every single year in high school is a stepping stone. You need to buckle down because college is a whole other level. The experience DAPCEP provides - going to different colleges and doing hands-on activities - allows you to learn in different ways than just in school. - DAPCEP set a career path for me. All my courses were in science and now I want to go into the medical field because that’s all science and math, so DAPCEP really guided me and helped me figure out what I want to do in life. With DAPCEP, we started topics early; I’d go to school and I would already be familiar with the topics we were learning. I went to a couple programs at MSU and that’s what influenced me to go there because I met the pro- fessors and new people and felt really comfortable on campus. I’m going to MSU to go into pre-med to become a pa-thologist. My advice is: everything is worth it. There isn’t one assign- ment that is pointless. You need to finish and push. DAPCEP gets you ahead and definitely has benefits. - DAPCEP was my first experience with a smaller classroom and I actu-ally enjoyed it. It was the reason I chose a smaller liberal arts college. Early, DAPCEP gave me a head start in middle school for science classes, and I made friends in the
