Research Opportunities Database for High School Students

Summary

Running from July 6 through August 3, the Coriell Summer Experience for Students is an opportunity for high school and college students to work alongside world-renowned scientists and researchers and gain insights into careers in science or related areas. Through our four-week Summer Experience program, we offer a limited number of students an exclusive opportunity to be a part of the day-to-day research activities in dynamic research and biobanking environments, and we offer the possibility to experience biobank operations. Students will spend time in the selected area and receive individualized instruction and direction from a group of expert mentors. The students may also have an opportunity to learn to operate and work closely with Coriell's state-of-the-art equipment and technology.

Summary

This course will introduce students to computer algorithms and the diversity of models they can generate, each with pros and cons. Students will use datasets from the natural and social sciences to answer real-world questions, pursuing questions and data relevant to their own lives. They will apply different facets of machine learning through R programming exercises deeply integrated into the course. By the end of the course, students will have developed a technical skill set that allows them to investigate any given dataset with strong coding abilities and a scientific approach.

Summary

The objective of the program is to introduce students to machine learning and programming through a project in which they program various machine learning algorithms to recognize images and make a self-driving toy car. Our mission is to give young students opportunities to learn about AI/ML and to allow students from diverse backgrounds to have more opportunities to access quality education. The course consists of lectures covering conceptual level statistical, machine learning and programming components. Students will be introduced to various machine learning methods and algorithms as well as their applications in different fields including biomedicine. In parallel they will be introduced to the Python programming language, which will allow them to implement the concepts they have studied. Students will participate in exercises using different methods for classifying images, and will be shown tools to continue learning and programming on their own. They will take pictures of physical objects and train their own classification algorithms including neural networks to recognize these objects. Once they achieve high-quality performance, they will install their program into a toy car equipped with a camera which will self drive using their programmed neural network.

Summary

This 12-day program offers high school students a first-hand understanding of a liberal arts education through a fun academic and non-academic mix that provides a strong foundation for success in academic endeavors. them in the future.

Summary

A one-week commuter/non-residential course for high school students to learn all about current biomedical research with hands-on work to complement classroom instruction.

Summary

The Stanford Department of Chemistry hosts the Inspiring Future Scientists Through Shadowing (IFSS) program each summer. This program gives rising juniors and seniors in high school an opportunity to experience cutting-edge chemical research while shadowing a graduate student mentor as they work in the laboratory.

Summary

Drexel LeBow's Camp Business is a 5-day program during the day that offers rising high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors an immersive and engaging introduction to collegiate and corporate business education. The program is designed to demonstrate that business education can be enjoyable and fun.

Summary

Brain Made Simple: Neuroscience for 21st Century; Introduction to Neuroscience Methods: Art and Science of Studying Brain; Introduction to Functional Anatomy of Central Nervous System; and others. Designed to emulate the undergraduate experience, SCIP provides students access to a broad range of UCLA’s academic expertise and resources through lectures, workshops, and seminars, as well as UCLA coursework. SCIP’s co-curricular components are specifically curated to empower students to gain balance and thrive as they embark on their college journey.

Summary

The Stanford Program for Inspiring the Next Generation of Women in Physics (SPINWIP) is a virtual summer outreach program hosted by the Stanford Physics Department and the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology, designed to get high-school girls excited about physics. This 3-week program is completely free to participants, and is held through video chat. First-generation students and students from underrepresented backgrounds in physics are particularly encouraged to apply. No prior knowledge of physics or coding is needed.

Summary

Students will be exposed to tools like Excel and Tableau to understand how to enter data, manipulate data, and perform basic and intermediate analysis for decision making. Understand what to do first when an unknown data set is presented. Visually explore data. Perform data clean up and get it ready for analysis. Perform basic statistics to generate insights from data. Present the data to stakeholders to make decisions quickly and in an informed manner."
