High School Student Summer Internship (HSSSI)
Overview:
This one-month program provides high school students with an in-depth exposure to a research environment. Each year in July, select high school students work as paid interns in MRSEC laboratories. Participants are introduced to the exciting area of research in advanced materials generally, and nanotechnology in particular, and have the opportunity to participate in multidisciplinary research program emphasizing the development of small-scale structures for applications in fields ranging from fundamental physics to electronic devices. Students also have the opportunity to attend informal seminars on the latest developments in advanced materials research. At the end of internship, each student prepares a written final report, and gives an oral presentation describing his or her results.
Testimonial:
"A marvelous program, I was intellectually stimulated, learned a great deal about semiconductors, expanded my scientific horizons, became a worthy candidate for many competitive colleges and had a scientific paper to boot."
