The Neubauer Phoenix STEM Summer Scholars program is a hybrid pre-college program for high school students interested in STEM fields. It combines a virtual mathematics course, hosted by schoolhouse.world, with a one-week on-campus experience at the University of Chicago. The program aims to expose students to UChicago's distinctive approach to STEM and its abundant research and academic opportunities. During the on-campus week, students participate in model classes, facility tours, and lectures by world-renowned UChicago faculty and alumni in molecular engineering, mathematics, and computer science. They also experience cutting-edge research facilities firsthand through day trips to locations such as Argonne National Laboratory, Fermilab, the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, and the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. The program emphasizes interdisciplinary thinking and problem-solving, providing students with invaluable skills applicable to their future studies and careers.
A typical day on campus begins at 9:00 a.m. with lectures, discussion sections, or workshops in the morning, followed by on-campus tours, excursions, or hands-on activities in the afternoons.
This program is ideal for outstanding high school students in 11th grade with a strong interest in STEM-related areas and research, who value diversity of thought and experience.
