This summer, 25 high school students from six Title I Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools are participating in the Wake Forest LEAP ( (Lab Experiences: Academics and Professions) program. Among them is Autumn Taylor, a 15-year-old rising junior at Glenn High School who loves building theater sets and dreams of becoming an architect or structural engineer. WF LEAP offers these students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on lab research experience while earning a paid internship. The goal is to increase the number of traditionally underrepresented youth and minorities in the STEM education pipeline.
