**Great summer program opportunity. Costly but financial aid is available.
Making research and mentorship accessible to high school students.
The Summer STEM Institute (SSI) is a 6-week virtual summer program that will run from June 21 to August 1, 2020. SSI consists of (1) a data science and research bootcamp, (2) a Masterclass lecture series, and (3) a mentored research project.
SSI Bootcamp: learn how to design and conduct a data science research project.
Pursuing data science research in high school is hard. Many students are scientifically curious and want to explore computational research projects but often lack the right training to do so. The SSI Bootcamp was designed to empower motivated high school students with the training to conduct computational research projects.

MORPH
The Mathematics Online Reading Program for High schoolers (MORPH) is a cost-free intensive online enrichment opportunity for enthusiastic high school students, focused on instilling concepts from “higher mathematics” and new modes of thought. Students will explore topics in mathematics, statistics, and computer science that are rarely studied in high school, and will build learning skills that are valuable across disciplines.
For eight weeks during the summer, students will receive one-on-one attention from Harvard undergraduate mentors.** Each student will study a specific topic in-depth by reading texts, solving problems, and discussing with peers and mentors.
Students from all backgrounds and all levels of mathematical experience are welcome and encouraged to apply. Our topics range from requiring no prerequisites beyond a standard high school curriculum to advanced undergraduate subjects, and the content and pace will be tailored to students’ interests. We hope to provide not only a rigorous understanding of material, but also an appreciation of the elegance of mathematical theory.
