The fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) are booming. If your child can show that they are a driven individual excited to see what their future holds, they are a prime candidate for the hundreds of positions opening up every day. Perhaps the best way to prove that potential is by achieving a degree in their field of choice from a highly-respected institution such as an Ivy League.

Enhancing Your Child's STEM Learning Experience
The science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields are the areas with the fastest-growing career opportunities — and some of the most lucrative. College prep for these specialties may include:
Online Resources
As with healthcare and business specialties, there are plenty of online resources to find regarding any subset of STEM learning. However, navigating these resources can be a challenge: where do you start? What skills are the most important to learn first if you want to do aerospace engineering? Do you start with C++ or Python if you want to learn more about artificial intelligence? This is where Zenith counselors can work one-on-one with your child to find out where they are at and recommend the right place to begin.
Multiple STEM Pathways
Not all STEM students are the same. Depending on whether you want to study Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Math, or some other field, the precise mixture of programs and skills that you’ll want to gain will be different. For example, a mechanical engineering student might consider investing more time by joining a robotics team while a student interested in math might invest more time in preparing for the American Math Olympiad exam. Zenith counselors can help you figure out what mixture of activities makes the most sense for the STEM pathway that you are pursuing.
Summer Programs
Specialized summer programs can be a great thing to do in the summer to get hands-on experience in your chosen field. However, in order to apply for the most competitive of these programs, you need to start building a research portfolio early. Zenith counselors help direct students toward those programs that can get them started on their research journey and prepare them for more competitive applications down the line.
Collaboration
Beyond simply having strong technical skills, colleges are looking for STEM students who have the capacity to work well with others and communicate effectively—after all, successful research and engineering firms all depend on the communication and collaboration between many different people. At Zenith we emphasize the importance of making sure that our students build their social and communication skills alongside their technical skills.
Networking
After you build up a strong resume by competing in competitions, taking on introductory research projects, and performing well in your classes, you can start reaching out to companies and researchers to get an individual internship outside of a structured summer program. Zenith counselors can coach you on how to do this outreach effectively.
