The programs meet the College and Career Readiness content standards and objectives for West Virginia schools, combine multiple disciplines, and target all grade levels. The format involves designing experiences that require research, peer-to-peer learning, investigation and reflection, which strengthen higher-order thinking skills and analytical proficiency.
