Research Opportunities Database for High School Students

Summary

The STEM research program is specifically designed to provide students with hands-on experience and help them develop their scientific knowledge and skills through a series of "experimental" activities. Selected students will have the opportunity to enroll in courses that focus on building essential skills like formulating research questions, designing experiments, conducting literature reviews, and analyzing scientific literature. These classes will be held during the spring semester, and upon successful completion, students will be connected to CUNY research faculty to participate in a six-week internship program during the summer. The internship program is structured and designed to enable students to apply their newly acquired knowledge in a research setting.

Summary

High school students have the opportunity to create and conduct their own research projects through this 7-course program, which follows a thematic research methodology framework. Each research project is conducted as a Rockefeller process, which includes a team of scientific advisors from the Rockefeller community working on a specific research topic.

Summary

Penn's VPSE department's flagship initiative, the Summer Mentorship Program (SMP), aims to provide first-generation students not defined by the college preparatory experience with greater college access. SMP participants commit to attending a four-week immersive summer program organized by faculty and staff at Penn's Perelman School of Medicine and Nursing School.

Summary

This program spans over 8 years and offers students direct, hands-on experience in generating, analyzing, validating, and reproducing research data under the guidance of the program director. Students will receive practical research training that encompasses laboratory analysis skills, literature review, handling of biological samples, performing PCR tests, and plating bacteria through laboratory testing and basic microbiological techniques.

Summary

The Regeneron ISEF isn't just your typical high school science fair. It's the most renowned science competition for high school students in the nation, attracting 1,800 finalists who compete for $8 million in awards and scholarships. Its reputation is highly respected by colleges and the scientific community. To participate in ISEF, 9th-12th grade students must first compete in a Society-affiliated fair and earn the opportunity to attend. Each fair has the opportunity to sponsor a certain number of projects, either team or individual, for the chance to compete at ISEF.

Summary

This competition provides a platform for students aged 13-18 to address global issues by utilizing science, technology, and innovation, all while cultivating entrepreneurial skills and forming new connections. With guidance from industry professionals and a structured framework, participants can strengthen their collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and communication abilities. One of the best aspects of this challenge is that students can choose to work with a small team of their choosing, allowing them to collaborate with friends and enjoy the project together.

Summary

The Human-Computer Informatics Summer Research Program (HCII) is an opportunity for undergraduates to spend 10 weeks at HCII doing valuable research and practical work with some of the world's top researchers. This work will have a strong impact on the future of the field. Research projects may include smart classroom sensors, educational games, accessibility, online health support groups, smartphone encryption devices, and the future of work.

Summary

CASPER's Summer Research Experiences for Teachers Program offers elementary school, middle school and high school teachers the opportunity for active research participation with CASPER faculty. This summer program will begin around the first of June and end around the middle of August. (The starting and ending dates are flexible and may be adjusted to fit ISD schedules.)

Summary

This course will advance students’ understanding of dynamical models and the concept of climate change through hands-on practices of building dynamical models and exploring physical principles driving climate change. In addition, this course will also advance students' computer literacy through introductions and exercises on writing Python code to solve and visualize simple dynamical models.
