Fall 2026 Programs – Monday, October 5th Update for Applicants:
Thank you to all student applicants who applied to our Fall 2026 Health Science and Engineering Immersion Programs. From Sunday, October 4th through Tuesday, October 6th, we will be working to send out acceptance emails to as many students as possible. Later in the week, we may also admit additional students from the waiting list as spaces become available. We know that some schools and students may have only learned about the programs near the end of the recruitment period, so we have extended the application grace period through Wednesday, October 7th to give additional students a fair opportunity to apply. We greatly appreciate the time and effort students put into applying. Application decisions are largely based on the number of spaces available, with high school juniors and seniors given higher priority because this may be one of their final opportunities to participate while in high school. The Health Science Immersion Program is significantly more competitive for admission than the Engineering Immersion Program. If you applied to HSIP and have not been accepted, we encourage you to contact us at our applications email if you would be willing to transfer your application to an EIP session, where additional spaces may be available. We highly encourage students who do not hear back from us this week to apply again for a future session. Information about our Winter 2027 sessions, which will run for nine Saturdays from January 2nd through February 27th, will be available on our website by mid-October. We are grateful for the continued interest in our programs and look forward to welcoming our Fall 2026 students when the programs begin on Saturday, October 10th.
Helping High School Students Gain Access to Virtual Science Immersion Experiences
Impact Internships believes in the unlimited potential of education combined with purposeful career and life planning to change a young person’s life for the better. Through immersive STEM enrichment programs, our non-profit aims to introduce high school students to opportunities in science at a critical moment in their lives when it can make the greatest impact. Through hearing from real-world practitioners, engaging in interactive workshops and working alongside like-minded peers we will create a space of growth and support that builds upon but also extends beyond the traditional high school classroom. We seek to give our student program graduates greater confidence about their future college, career, and personal pathways as they embark on a period of great change in their lives. This Fall, from October 10th to December 5th, we are the exploring health sciences and engineering fields through two separate virtual immersion programs.
Session A: 12pm to 3pm PST OR Session B: 3pm to 6pm PST
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 1,500 high school students have taken part in the first 43 HSIP sessions. This Fall, 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!
Session A: 11am to 2pm PST OR Session B: 2pm to 5pm PST
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 and civil engineering. Students explore how different subjects such as mathematics, physics and 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 virtual group project related to engineering design. Since 2024, over 200 students have taken part in EIP during the first 10 virtual sessions of the program. This Fall, E-IP will be an engaging way for high school students to learn more about their future in STEM and Engineering!
