Applications are open until April 4 for young women in Grades 10-11 to apply for a 2024 O-STEAM Fellowship, sponsored by WHOI Sea Grant at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Sea Education Association. This fellowship will run August 11-17 and aims to promote diversity and expose young women to a variety of careers in STEAM.

Register for the online Info Session on March 5 at 6PM.

O-STEAM student fellows will work with a predominantly female team of researchers to explore a variety of STEAM-related activities. The team will explore challenges that are unique to women in science. In seeing themselves represented, our teens can gain a sense of belonging. The program is available to students who are in Grades 10-11 in Massachusetts and who are interested in being in a female-identified space. No experience is required.

There is no cost. The fellowship award includes travel to and from Woods Hole, food, and accommodations. See the program flyer. Apply on the O-STEAM webpage by April 4. Notifications will be made by May 2024. For more information, email Grace Simpkins, gsimpkins@whoi.edu.
