IT STARTS HERE. The Army Educational Outreach Program (AEOP) provides a portfolio of Army educational opportunities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) for the future generations of America's workforce and teachers. The AEOP is composed of competitions, unique experiences, internships, and teacher resources designed to spark inspiration, exploration and achievement in STEM literacy and career development. From elementary school through graduate school, students of all proficiency levels, interests, social and economic backgrounds are encouraged to participate in real-world STEM experiences involving these important disciplines while also engaging with Army-sponsored mentors. Some programs are based near Army labs or university research facilities, and others are available online and across the country. Teachers and parents are encouraged to learn more about AEOP opportunities to help foster student engagement and excitement in STEM activities and career choices. AEOP activities can be integrated into existing school curricula and are accessible on AEOP’s website.
