Where students and mentors come together
Summer School
Summer contests are a great way to meet and connect with a variety of people. You’ll work alongside other talented students, learn from experts in your field, and interact with professors and mentors. These connections can lead to future opportunities, such as internships, research positions, or even letters of recommendation.
Many summer contests focus on a specific subject, whether it’s science, engineering, writing, or debate. This is a perfect chance to dive deep into a topic you’re passionate about, figure out if it’s something you want to study in college, and ultimately determine if it’s the right career path for you.
