Summary

International competition for students aged 15 to 20 who have conducted research projects to address significant water challenges. Thousands of entries from over 40 countries are submitted each year. The final round of the competition features winners from national competitions, whose work is evaluated by a jury of water experts. Many pariticipants in this competition have gone on to make a significant impact on the water world, so this program has a great track record.

Summary

FAST is a program in which Stanford University graduate students mentor Future Advancers of Science and Technology (FAST) toward achieving their goals of answering open questions in science and engineering clever solutions to problems in their society. Students from Andrew P. Hill High School and James Lick High School in San Jose meet with Stanford students every other Saturday during the academic year. Between September and April, they design and execute original scientific research spanning topics in chemistry, biology, physics, engineering, and data science. Every spring, FAST students present their work at local and state science fairs and also at an annual symposium at Stanford University.

Menlo-Atherton Ecology Research Outdoors (MERO) is a free, after-school environmental education program for high school English Language Learners. This year-round program engages students in real, hands-on ecological research in an outdoor setting. Through regular field trips and long-term mentorship, MERO provides a fun and supportive community for underserved teens while helping them gain the academic, communication, and life skills needed to excel in high school and beyond.

Summary

A free program for talented high schoolers to develop quantitative skills and apply them to the world. SPARC is typically hosted at a college campus in California for two weeks in late July. We have four to five hours of classes or activities each day, and an invited speaker many evenings. The rest of the time students generally relax, talk with each other and the instructors, or participate in optional activities.

Whether you’re looking for creative writing workshops, preview courses in STEM fields, or to explore theories of economic policy, philosophy, and free expression., the University of Chicago’s summer Immersion courses offer you the opportunity to explore a topic of interest in-depth.

Summary

Project SEED has grown and diversified its services of providing hands-on summer research experiences (8 – 10 weeks) and virtual summer camps to more than 11,000 students in 40 U.S. states and territories. Each year, the program supports 350+ students with research opportunities with qualified mentors in both academia and industry, as well as providing a virtual summer camp to students focusing on college readiness and professional development, lab preparedness, and exposure to chemistry-related career paths. To provide sustained STEM research, learning, and growth opportunities for high school students with diverse identities and socioeconomic backgrounds so they can be empowered to advance and enrich the chemical science enterprise.

Summary

"Using the world-class facilities at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), high school students and their teachers work in teams with Argonne scientists to conduct research projects from start to finish. Only a handful of programs in the world allow high school students to conduct synchrotron science, making the ESRP (Exemplary Student Research Program) a unique and life-changing experience for students and teachers alike. The program lasts an entire school year beginning in summer, when teachers apply to form a research team at their school. After attending an introductory workshop, teachers are matched with a scientist mentor and charged with selecting their students. During the fall and spring, teams prepare a research proposal; design and set up an experiment; gather and analyze data; make conclusions; and create a final poster. In this program, school teams are considered to be part of the larger Argonne international synchrotron light source user community: ESRP posters are presented alongside the rest of the user community’s work at the annual Argonne APS/CNM User Meeting in the spring. This program is designed to enhance Honors and Advanced Placement STEM classes. High school science teachers of any discipline (e.g. Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Environmental Science) willing to guide a team of 4-8 students in doing research are encouraged to apply.

Summary

The Summer Program to Accelerate Regenerative medicine Knowledge (SPARK), an initiative of the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), gives high school juniors the chance to be mentored in the lab on an intensive, hypothesis-based research assignment. The research focuses on the use of stem cells for translation studies in regenerative medicine, with the hope of accelerating the delivery of stem cell-based therapies to patients with unmet needs.
