Each summer, the Caribbean Science Foundation offers the Student Program for Innovation in Science and Engineering (SPISE) to Caribbean high-school students, 16 to 17 years of age, who are gifted in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), and interested in studying and exploring careers in these disciplines. SPISE is an intensive four-week residential summer program, and is a clone of the well-known MITES program at MIT. KLF has committed to annually sponsoring a SPISE scholar from St. Vincent & the Grenadines.

SPISE students are totally immersed (24/7) in university-level calculus, physics, biochemistry, entrepreneurship, and Mandarin and/or Caribbean unity, as well as hands-on projects in computer programming, robotics and/or electronics/renewable energy. Students are exposed to the rigor, pace and pressure of taking multiple subjects with major parallel homework assignments at the level of first year in a university.

We are proud to announce that two of KLF’s past SPISE scholars are now pursuing their higher education at Princeton University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)!
