Core offering

The New Hampshire Academy of Science operates an educational program portfolio for middle and high school students built around a 3,000+ square-foot STEM Center with over $500,000 of advanced research instrumentation. Offerings include 3-week and 1-week summer research programs, a year-round after-school program, AP Biology and Chemistry courses, the NSF-funded STEM Fellowship, the NIH SEPA-funded Learning Science Through Research initiative with an Equipment Loan Library, an annual New England STEM Symposium, and an Electric Bike Workshop, all delivered under PhD scientist mentorship.

Product overview

The New Hampshire Academy of Science operates as an educational nonprofit offering a portfolio of STEM research programs. The core offering consists of the Applied Scientific Research Summer Programs (3-week intensive and 1-week introductory sessions) and the After School Program, all conducted at the STEM Center with access to over $500,000 in advanced laboratory equipment. Supporting programs include the NIH SEPA-funded Learning Science Through Research initiative (equipment loan library, teacher training, regional network), the NSF ITEST-funded STEM Fellowship for comprehensive student support, AP Biology and Chemistry courses through the Learn Everywhere program, the annual New England STEM Symposium, and the Electric Bike Workshop. Student outcomes are documented through abstract publications, poster presentations, and video presentations. The portfolio is unified by the STEM Center as the central facility, with programs designed as progressive pathways from introductory to advanced research experiences.

Direct peers

• COSMOS (University of California): COSMOS is a 4-week residential summer STEM program at UC campuses where high school students conduct faculty-led research projects, with a directly comparable structure to NHAS's 3-week Applied Scientific Research summer program.
• iD Tech: iD Tech runs STEM summer camps and after-school programs covering coding, engineering, and science for K-12 students nationwide, serving as a broader commercial peer to NHAS's enrichment model.
• Summer Science Program (SSP): Summer Science Program runs intensive residential research programs for high-achieving high school students in astrophysics, biochemistry, and genomics, with authentic research methodology directly comparable to NHAS's Applied Scientific Research summer program.
• Center for Talented Youth (CTY) at Johns Hopkins: CTY provides advanced enrichment courses, summer programs, and academic talent development for K-12 students, with overlapping STEM research offerings for middle and high school students similar to NHAS's after-school and summer programs.
• Research Science Institute (RSI) at MIT: RSI is a prestigious summer research internship for high school students at MIT that pairs students with scientists for authentic research, directly comparable to NHAS's model of PhD-mentored authentic research leading to AAAS-level presentations.

Others

• Science Olympiad: Science Olympiad is a national STEM competition organization for K-12 students, comparable to NHAS's student presentation pathway (state fairs, AAAS conferences) as a related STEM talent development and recognition platform.
• Destination Imagination: Destination Imagination is a nonprofit running project-based STEM challenges and competitions for K-12 students, sharing NHAS's mission of inquiry-based STEM engagement but focused on team problem-solving rather than authentic laboratory research.

Emerging players

• BioBuilder: BioBuilder provides hands-on synthetic biology curriculum and lab experiences for high school students, overlapping with NHAS's molecular biology and biotech research tracks through its After School and Summer programs.
• Jackson Laboratory (JAX) Education Programs: Jackson Laboratory offers genetics and genomics education programs including the Summer Student Program for high school and college students, comparable to NHAS's biotech and molecular biology research mentorship offerings.

Broad incumbents

• FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology): FIRST runs K-12 STEM robotics competitions and programs (FLL, FTC, FRC) at national scale, overlapping with NHAS's STEM engagement mission but operating as a much larger competition-based ecosystem.
