dc.description | Fast Start is a two-week intensive program for high school students in Liberia designed to spark interest in careers in engineering in agriculture. The course, which includes five regional camps of 80 students each, is modeled after the M-STEM program at University of Michigan. All students participate in academic courses in Math, Physics, Botany, and English, a life skills course focused on professional development and community building, and a computer lab. Additionally, there are hands-on labs for engineering and agriculture. ¶ Fast Start is part of the USAID-funded Excellence in Higher Education for Liberian Development project (EHELD). | |
