YSAP STUDENTS ON TV
July 12, 2025
In a place known more for gang horrors than academic honors, Brentwood High School and neighboring Central Islip now count three semifinalists in the prestigious Siemens competition. The districts earned grants from YSAP to build their own labs, and now partner with more affluent school districts. “They can achieve the highest of high by working with someone that may have a little more than they do. You can’t compare yourself to someone else, be what you want to be,” said Dr. Rebecca Grella who is a veteran high school science teacher at YSAP.

A PORTFOLIO OF PROGRAMS IN STEM
STEM INNOVATION SCHOLARS
STEM Innovation scholars are America's young innovators engaged in imagining, inventing, improving and inspiring the world around us. We believe that our youth has the creativity and collaborative potential to solve some of the most challenging problems we face today. YSAP provides these innovators the tools and resources they need to achieve anything. We are proud of the work that they do to help build a better future for all of us.
SCIENCE RESEARCH SYMPOSIA
YSAP partners with schools and districts across the country to help foster science research opportunities for high school and middle school students enabling them to experience authentic science research projects that compete at local, national and international science fair competitions. YSAP hosts a science research symposia at the AT&T Global Network Operations Center where hundreds of students, parents, teachers and mentors come together to celebrate student excellence.
UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIPS
University partnerships are key to YSAP's efforts in helping raise student awareness about STEM fields of study and careers. Princeton University, City College of New York and the University of Texas at Dallas collaborate with YSAP to offer students exciting summer research opportunities in a wide range of STEM fields. Summer internships provide YSAP students a rich and learning environment that is authentic, informative and life-changing.
