Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a doctor, nurse, or different healthcare professional? During HSIP, we explore science education, medical research and healthcare opportunities in the health sciences field. We’ll hear from health professional speakers such as a research professor, dentist and medical student. During a group research project we’ll collaborate on topics such as cancer research and neuroscience. We’ll also engage in clinical case studies, exploring topics such as asthma and diabetes. Throughout HSIP we’ll take part in career pathway workshops like the medical school road map. Throughout the program, you’ll learn how to prepare for a future career in the health sciences. Since 2019, over 1,315 high school students have taken part in the first 37 HSIP sessions. This Winter, HSIP will be an interactive way for high school students to learn more about their future opportunities in the world of science research and healthcare!

During C-SIP, students will learn about their opportunities in computer science as it relates to education, a career and making a positive impact on our changing world. Over our 9 Saturdays, we’ll hear presentations from professionals engaged in career fields such as web design, software development and user design. In our group project, we’ll explore creative coding using p5.js, a JavaScript library that makes coding accessible through the OpenProcessing platform. Throughout C-SIP, we will explore future college and career pathways through workshops about resume building, college admissions and exploring soft skills. Since 2023, over 220 students have taken part in C-SIP during the first 9 virtual sessions of the program. This Winter, C-SIP will be a fun way for students to learn more about their future in tech and computer science!

Utilizing a wide array of subjects and tools, Engineers have built a transformative array of products and systems. In E-IP we will learn about our future opportunities in the Engineering field as it relates to an education, a career and developing innovative products for our surrounding world. Students hear presentations from engineering professionals as we explore sectors such as bioengineering, chemical engineering or civil engineering. Students explore how different subjects such as mathematics, physics or computer science converge in Engineering. Through program workshops we will explore the education, technical training and skillsets that Engineers utilize through their careers. Students will also experience the field firsthand by working on a small group project related to engineering design. E-IP will be an engaging way for high school students to learn more about their future in STEM and Engineering!

Have you ever wondered how we know which species are endangered? How air pollution affects the lives of both humans and wildlife? Why is recycling harder than it seems? This Fall, we’ll explore these topics and many others as we consider your future opportunities in the Environmental Sciences field. We’ll hear from professionals such as an environmental engineer and an air pollution specialist. We’ll take part in a group project researching an ecological issue and brainstorming solutions. We’ll also explore topics like biodiversity, ecosystem services, pollution, and waste management in interactive workshops. We will also explore what resources colleges can offer to aspiring environmental scientists and how you can work to find research experience and internships in the field. E-SIP will be a fun way for high school students to learn more about their future opportunities in making a positive impact on the environment!
