"SNP introduces NYC public high school students to modern brain research. About 20 participants attend interactive lectures, read and present a scientific paper, dissect a brain, design their own neuroscience experiment and visit research labs. The two-week course is led by Rockefeller graduate students. The hope is to develop young people's passion for science, especially for students with otherwise limited opportunities."
"Hosted by Fordham University, this summer seminar invites Bronx high school upperclassmen to explore philosophical questions about society and civic life. Students read thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, José Martí and Sojourner Truth while discussing the meaning of justice and democracy."
Teen summer programs in the metro area provide valuable internship and enrichment opportunities, though availability has become increasingly limited due to funding constraints and program closures. Families seeking affordable or free options face competitive application processes with varying deadlines. Programs range from academic enrichment to civic engagement, with many offering additional benefits like meals, equipment, or room and board. The Neuroscience Program at Rockefeller University introduces high school students to brain research through lectures, lab visits, and hands-on experiments. Fordham University's summer seminar engages Bronx juniors in philosophical discussions about society, justice, and democracy while providing residential accommodations. These opportunities aim to develop student passion for academics and civic engagement, particularly for those with limited access to such programs.
