USAGraduate.com is currently in its third phase. The success of the Phase

1 & 2 programs conducted in Central New York in April-June 2008, and

January-March 2009, indicates that young people will participate in

informal STEM learning if given the opportunity. More than 25,000

students participated in these two phases.
