Northwestern Pre-College Online STEM Programs offer high school students an opportunity to delve into cutting-edge STEM subjects through an engaging and flexible online format. Students will participate in specialized courses in areas like Artificial Intelligence, Engineering, Medical Research, and Physiology. The curriculum, developed and taught by Northwestern faculty and industry experts, features dynamic video lessons and interactive activities. Participants will complete special projects that test their new skills and build knowledge of current professional landscapes. Each course culminates in a Final Capstone Project, allowing students to demonstrate their learning through presentations and receive feedback from mentors. The program emphasizes developing critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, providing real-world insights into STEM fields, and exploring potential career paths. Students will also gain practical skills, such as using no-code AI tools to build prototypes in the AI course, or applying the design process to solve engineering problems in the Engineering course.
Students engage with asynchronous video lessons and complete assignments and projects at their own pace, with expert mentors available to provide guidance and feedback.
This program is ideal for motivated high school students aged 13 and older who are eager to explore academic interests in STEM, gain valuable skills, and learn more about subjects they may want to pursue in college.
