BIOTECH CAREER DAY In celebration of National DNA Day in April, 11th and 12th grade students from across Madison County came to HudsonAlpha’s cam- pus for our second DNA in Biotech career day. This year, students spent the day engaged in hands-on activities and seminars by STEM professionals across three important areas of research at Hudson- Alpha: neuroscience, cancer, and agricultural science. These tracks allowed students to explore their specific interests and discover the array of career opportunities available in each field. We are grateful for Redstone Federal Credit Union ’s support in making this event possible for a second year!
SUMMER OF STEM The 2024 Summer of STEM program ranged from summer camps for middle and high school students, to intern- ships for undergraduate and graduate students, and professional development for science educators. Over the course of the summer, HudsonAlpha hosted hundreds of learners on campus who represented 23 counties in Alabama and seven states. HudsonAlpha is in- credibly grateful to the many sponsors who helped make the 2024 Summer of STEM a success!
“Before I came to HudsonAlpha’s Code of Life summer camp, I didn’t feel strong in science and didn’t understand DNA. This camp boosted my confidence in science and I feel like I can succeed now.”
— Ali, 7th grade summer camper
