Top Research Opportunities for High School Students at Stanford University

Summary

Students at SIMR team up with Stanford staff and analysts to lead the clinical exploration. Participants select one of eight areas of study and are then dispensed to a lab where they will be tutored one-on-one. SIMR is an 8-week program open to current juniors and seniors, offering a stipend to participants.

Summary

Students attend a 10-day session which provides introductory exposure to fascinating topics in neuroscience, psychiatry and psychology plus an opportunity to complete a collaborative capstone project. During each session, students are exposed to the breadth of research found in the Stanford Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Through interactive seminars students learn about principles of neuroscience, clinical neuropsychiatry, neuroscience research, psychiatric epidemiology, behavioral and social sciences, and more. In addition to participating in interactive lectures, students in each session will spend guided time working in small teams to develop innovative, novel solutions to social issues related to psychiatry, psychology, or neuroscience - presented at a final session in front of an audience of classmates, families, faculty and staff.

Summary

Ancient Rome, The Greeks, Revolutions, The American Enlightenment among others. Explore the humanities at a college level, investigate philosophical questions, and pursue exciting research topics that are chosen by each participant.

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

An online mathematics camp made for high school students who have a passion for problem solving. In this three-week course, students will have the opportunity to learn more about math than what is traditionally taught in a high school classroom, and to build a network of fellow math lovers.
