The Academy of Applied Science administers STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math) programs where students apply scientific knowledge to life, research and inventions. Our programs spark creativity in young students, encourage the rising generation of teen mathematicians, scientists and engineers with recognition for their efforts, and provide scholarships and apprenticeships for high schoolers interested in pursuing careers in math, science and technology. The founder of the Academy, Robert H. Rines, defined the Academy as a catalyst...indeed, our influence, encouragement, and assistance annually reach over 12,000 students nationwide.
