Drexel University Material Science and Engineering Summer Institute The Drexel University Materials Science & Engineering Summer Institute will give aspiring scientists and engineers the chance to learn about how atomic elements arrange themselves to form the materials that are all around us. Furthermore, the Summer Institute will emphasis how variables in processing of materials determine physical, mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. Through hands-on science and engineering activities, students will gain an understanding of how materials impact the fields of energy, biotechnology and electronics. Sustainability and nanotechnology will be a theme woven through all of the modules. The learning environment will include work in the Innovation Studio, a materials science and engineering laboratory, and the Centralized Research Facility with includes advanced microscopy equipment. The week will culminate with presentations in which students will discuss their results from group projects. Deadline: June 1, 2018 Google's Computer Science Summer Institute (CSSI) Kick start your university studies in computer science with an unforgettable summer program at Google. Google's Computer Science Summer Institute (CSSI) is a three-week introduction to computer science for graduating high school seniors with a passion for technology — especially students from historically underrepresented groups in the field. As CSSI students, you will learn programming fundamentals directly from Google engineers, get an inside look at some of Google's most exciting, emerging technologies, and even design and develop your very own application with fellow participants that you will showcase to Googlers in local offices. As part of the program, we are also offering one-time academic scholarships to a number of selected students. These students will receive 10,000 USD (for those studying in the US) or 5,000 CAD (for those studying in Canada) for the following school year. Applicants will have the opportunity to opt in to be considered for a scholarship when filling out the program application.
iD Tech Summer Camp At iD Tech, kids and teens of all skill levels discover coding, AI, machine learning, film, robotics, and game design, developing the in-demand skills needed to compete at Pennsylvania companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Schell Games. Programs are offered at Arcadia University, Bryn Mawr College, Lehigh University, UPenn, Villanova University, West Chester and more.
The Monell Science Apprenticeship Program An intensive eight-week internship allows students to participate in structured research experiences, as well as in a number of enrichment activities. The budding scientists gain an increased appreciation of the chemical senses, and also valuable experience in the world of working scientists: a demystification of science, the development of critical thinking skills, and hands-on experience of the scientific process. Follow-up evaluations from past participants show that the vast majority of apprentices pursue degrees in science. To learn more about the Monell SAP, please explore the links at left.

Penn State Abington: Smart Machines for better life - An Introduction to Computer Vision and Machine Learning Penn State Abington’s Smart Machines camp is a two-week, full-day summer program to introduce high school students to the science, techniques, and logic that drive the fields of machine learning. The objective of this program is two-fold: first objective is to provide an introduction to the background of computer vision, machine learning methods and principles. The second objective is to provide the students with hands-on experience of machine learning and an exposure to real-world applications. This program provides hands on experience in domains including facial detection, facial recognition, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), knowledge extraction, and other contemporary applications.
Research Science Institute RSI is the first cost-free summer science & engineering program to combine on-campus course work in scientific theory with off-campus work in science and technology research. Spots are open for high-achieving juniors interested in STEM fields. Application fee waivers are available by contacting RSI. Secondary Student Training Program The Secondary Student Training Program (SSTP) is a program of the Belin-Blank Center for Gifted Education and Talent Development, at The University of Iowa. This program offers students unique experiences, both academically and socially. Participants conduct scientific research under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Students spend approximately 40 hours a week working in labs on The University of Iowa campus.
Simons Summer Research Program Established in 1984 as an outreach program for local high school students, the Simons Summer Research program now attracts applicants from all across the country to the Stony Brook campus: Simons Fellows are matched with Stony Brook faculty mentors, join a research group or team, and assume responsibility for a project. The Simons Fellows conclude their apprenticeship by producing a written research abstract and a research poster. In addition to learning valuable techniques and experiencing life at a major research university, Simons Fellows attend weekly faculty research talks and participate in special workshops, tours and events. At the closing poster symposium, students are presented with a $1,000 stipend award.
Summer Science @ Jefferson SummerScience@Jefferson is a 4-week program which aims to foster an appreciation of the role of science in everyday life, to promote an informed understanding of scientific issues that appear in headlines in the news, and to familiarize students with the vital and expanding field of biomedical sciences. The instructors for SummerScience@Jefferson are faculty members of the various Colleges at Thomas Jefferson University who are passionate about sharing their knowledge with high school students through lectures, discussion, and hands-on laboratory experiences. The culmination of the program is a student presentation day, during which the students present formal presentations on a topic of their choice, which may be based on theoretical knowledge, laboratory experiences, and possibly interactions and observations with Jefferson researchers.
The Summer Science Program SSP is an immersion into experimental science, designed to challenge and inspire talented rising seniors from around the world. Working in teams of three, participants complete a research project from beginning to end: either in Astrophysics – near-earth asteroid imaging and orbit determination – or (new in 2017) Biochemistry – fungal enzyme inhibition and drug discovery. Each team acquires its own original data and performs its own analysis. Field trips and guest speakers round out an intense 39-day schedule. The experience changes their lives, and the benefits continue for life
