Maryland MESA (Math, Engineering, Science Achievement) is an exciting and engaging after-school program for students in grades 3–12 designed to spark their interest in STEM education and STEM careers. Hosted by APL since 1976, when it was just two schools in Baltimore City, the MESA program now reaches students in eight Maryland school districts.

Student teams work on projects (called challenges) which are designed by APL and the National MESA organization to help students develop computer programming and engineering skills. Throughout the academic year, students conduct research, iterate designs, and prepare to participate in competitions that demonstrate what they have learned through ...

In 2011, to address our nation’s critical challenge of creating a workforce educated and trained in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), APL launched a STEM Program Management Office to help inspire, engage, and educate the …

Maryland MESA strives to provide students in grades 3–12 with the opportunity to explore STEM through a fun, hands-on program. This STEM initiative: prepares students to enroll in a two- or four-year college or university and graduate with a degree in a STEM field

Nearly 400 students from 18 Maryland schools in six counties competed yesterday for a slot in the national Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) initiative. I’m tremendously excited to watch our third through twelfth graders show off how much they know in STEM fields!

Maryland MESA started in the 1970s with students from just two Baltimore City schools — Northwestern High and Pimlico Junior High. Fast forward 45 years and MESA, still managed by APL, is a thriving program reaching thousands of students and active in more than 100 schools in eight districts across the state.
