Research Opportunities Database for High School Students

Summary

High school participants enroll in two college-level classes and take part in existing research projects that require analyzing data sets, coding data, and using other essential software to glean key insights from large troves of information.....a connected set of opportunities to learn about how data science can be harnessed to answer questions across all disciplines. Activities are optional and cover broad topics with something for everyone. Students will be able to participate regardless of experience or background. Data sets, code, analyses, and resources will be maintained and available to all during and after the program. Explore the side menus to learn more!

Summary

The Summer Neuroscience Program (SNP) is a two-week course for NYC public high schoolers led by Rockefeller graduate students. Participants take a look at ongoing neuroscience research in an effort to understand how the brain works and how it relates to our daily life. We aim to introduce students to modern neuroscience. Applicants must be enrolled in a New York City public school, and must be at least 16 years of age by the start of the program.

Summary

Stanford AI4ALL aims to increase diversity in the field of artificial intelligence. During this three-week online program, students are immersed in AI through a combination of lectures, hands-on research projects, and mentoring activities. Participants engage with professionals in the field to learn about cutting-edge ideas, such as how AI can be applied in medicine, disaster response, and combatting poverty. Open to current 9th-grade students (rising 10th graders during the summer) eager to explore the exciting field of AI and increase diversity in the field.

Summary

The Program in Mathematics for Young Scientists, or PROMYS, is a six-week intensive mathematics program designed for students across the globe. The program is held on Boston University’s campus. There are daily “Number Theory” lectures, and a great deal of independence for students to choose their own schedules and decide what they would like to study. In addition to the extensive learning opportunities, there is also “mandatory fun time” built into the weekly schedule so that students are able to have non-math related activities.

Immerse yourself in the realm of creativity and contribute towards mitigating climate change in one of the planet's most biologically diverse regions. Experience the breathtaking beauty of Costa Rica's lush rainforests while gaining an in-depth understanding of the science behind climate change. Explore the renowned Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve and engage with local farmers, scientists, and activists to comprehend its impact on tropical ecosystems. As you step into the living laboratory of the CIEE Monteverde eco-campus, you'll have the opportunity to quantify the growth of tropical trees, estimate carbon stocks, and assess the environmental effects of greenhouse gases. Collaborate with fellow Global Navigators to devise innovative solutions for mitigating climate change. Together, let's unleash our creativity and make a positive impact on our planet.

Summary

Offers aspiring scientists an immersive laboratory experience with MPFI researchers. This six-week internship is designed for students with an interest in brain structure, function and development, and the advanced imaging techniques and technologies used in neuroscience. Interns will participate in research projects alongside MPFI scientists, prepare a written scientific abstract based on their research project, and deliver a short presentation at the end of the summer.

Summary

The Future Scientist Program at IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center is a summer science program for high school juniors at Indianapolis and all Marion County public schools, providing the opportunity to spend eight weeks on a research project under the mentorship of a university researcher. High school juniors with a keen interest in science and the ability to work independently and responsibly are encouraged to apply for the program

Summary

The Summer Research Program (SRP) at IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center aims to increase the number of high school and undergraduate students from underrepresented populations pursuing biomedical and behavioral science careers Selected participants are paired with a research mentor. Research projects may involve laboratory-based research, computer-based database research or clinical research. Students learn about research methodology and will complete a project over the summer months. They will present their findings at poster and oral presentation sessions.

Summary

MIT PRIMES is a free, year-long program, in which high school students work on individual and group research projects and participate in reading groups under the guidance of academic mentors, usually graduate students or postdoctoral scholars. MIT PRIMES includes three sections: mathematics, computer science, and computational and physical biology.

Summary

Oceanography: The world's oceans are our most abundant, precious, and threatened natural resource. In this course we will study the seas from a global perspective. Emphasis will be on chemical and physical oceanography as it affects both sea life and world economies. Students will apply scientific methods covering: geography, plate tectonics, climatology, meteorology, currents, waves/tides and productivity, as well as modern issues in oceanography.
