Inspiring Girls is a unique, FREE, wilderness science education program for high school girls. Inspiring Girls Expeditions empowers young women to lead and succeed through science, art, and wilderness exploration. Each year, teams of teenage girls and instructors spend 12 days exploring and learning about mountain glaciers and the alpine landscape through scientific field studies with professional glaciologists, ecologists, artists, and mountaineers. One team explores Mount Baker, an ice-covered volcano in the North Cascades of Washington State. The other team sleeps under the midnight sun exploring an Alaskan glacier. To be eligible, girls must be at least 16 years old by the Alaska program start date (June 17), and no older than 18 on the North Cascades program end date (July 21).  “Girls on Ice is not a reward for past good grades or academic achievement, it is an inspiration for future success.” #Science #Geology #STEM  http://girlsonice.org/

University of Maryland Physics PROPEL

PROPEL is a recruitment initiative for rising high school seniors to promote success in Physics, especially aimed at underrepresented groups. Admitted students will work on an 8-week research project with a faculty member and graduate student mentor.

The schedule includes a series of technical skill-building workshops (Fundamentals of Physics, Python, Mathematica), professional skill-building workshops (scientific writing, LaTeX, presenting), and community-building activities interspersed with the workshops.

Success in Physics requires the application of knowledge acquisition skills to solve problems. Early experience with research and interacting with senior physicists allows students to develop proficiency in their knowledge building skills, while gaining insight into the research process. A full-time research internship at UMD builds students’ confidence in themselves as aspiring scientists who contribute to their team’s research goals. 

The program’s primary goal is to put the student in the driver's seat of their learning and work experience.

Applications for next year's program will open in January 2022.

The Garcia Research Scholar Program for High School Students

Mission: The goal of the Garcia pre-college programs has been to convey to young students and their teachers the excitement of polymer materials research, to suggest possible career options, and to provide the opportunity to use polymer science to enhance the regular science teaching curriculum.

The Research Scholar Program for High School Students offers the opportunity for high school teachers and students to perform research on the forefronts of polymer science and technology together with GARCIA faculty and staff. Students work as part of focused research teams and are taught to make original contributions of interest to the scientific community. In addition to entering national competitions, the students are encouraged to publish in refereed scientific journals and to present their results at national conferences. Our goal is to convey to the students the excitement we enjoy daily in research. The program has no set time limits. Research is a lifetime learning experience, and we hope to remain a resource to our students long after "graduation".

This is an intensive seven week program for gifted high school students which combines formal instruction with independent research and allows students to design original research projects with guidance from Garcia Center faculty, students, and staff. Students can continue during the academic year in the Mentor Program, which allows them to plan a research schedule with a faculty mentor throughout the year. Pre-arranged transportation and class schedules are coordinated with local school boards to enable students from a large geographical area to enroll in the program.

The students have consistently won recognition for their research through national competitions (LISEF, NYCSEF, NYSSEF, ISEF), published in refereed journals, been awarded patents, inducted into the National Young Inventor's Hall of Fame, and been accepted to universities or professional programs of their choice. #STEM #Science https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/garcia/summer_program/program_description.php

A List of Every Governor's School in the US
Summer residential governor’s schools offer gifted and high-achieving secondary (and sometimes middle-school) students an enrichment program that addresses three areas of student development—academic or artistic (often called Area 1), interdisciplinary (often called Area 2) and social and emotional (often called Area 3). The purpose of governor’s schools is to provide a constructive residential learning environment for gifted students to explore their considerable potential. Governor’s school programs vary widely from state to state. Funding sources differ, state oversight varies among departments and public-private partnerships, nomination and selection procedures vary, and implementation strategies range as widely as the host institutions of each program. What unites these programs is dedication to meeting the academic, artistic, and social and emotional needs of gifted, talented, and high achieving youth. #CollegePrep #GovernorsSchools https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Conference_of_Governor%27s_Schools

Summer Scholars receive full and partial scholarship grants, based on demonstrated financial need, to apply to summer program tuition, room and board, and travel expenses. Currently, the Foundation operates in Michigan, Ohio, Nebraska, Missouri Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. The Joyce Ivy Foundation partners with the Frank Minolli Foundation to support young women interested the fields of engineering, science, technology and mathematics. Each year, the Frank Minolli Foundation sponsors Frank Minolli Engineering and Science Award Recipients in the Joyce Ivy Foundation Summer Scholars cohort.

Each year, the Joyce Ivy Foundation also names a Summer Scholars recipient of the Mary Vandewiele Leadership Award, who demonstrates exceptional leadership in her community and high school. The Vandewiele Award recipients will seek to develop their leadership skills through summer program participation, and lead lives of impact through their pursuit of higher education and their career aspirations. #CollegePrep #SummerCamp
