• Carnegie Mellon University

    Carnegie Mellon is committed to providing access opportunities to populations of students who have been historically underrepresented in the STEM and Computer Science fields. We materialize this support through our Summer Academy for Math and Science, AI4All @ Carnegie Mellon, and our new Computer Science Scholars program offerings.

    Applications are now being accepted for the Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University.  This program will be held at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pa from July 2, 2023 to August 5, 2023.  Applications must be submitted no later than January 31, 2023.  For more information, visit their website HERE.

    The Summer Academy for Math and Science is a six-week residential experience that provides students from underrepresented communities who have interest in engineering and/or the natural sciences, with the opportunity to achieve skills in order to pursue and complete majors in STEM fields. There are no tuition, housing or dining fees for students selected to attend this program.

    The AI4All @ Carnegie Mellon program is a three-week residential experience that provides opportunities for students from underrepresented communities to study artificial intelligence with full-time faculty, staff and researchers who are leaders in the field. There are no tuition, housing or dining fees for students selected to attend this program.

    The Computer Science Scholars program provides students who are traditionally under-represented in the field of computer science an opportunity to receive exposure to computing and additional computer science pre-requisites. There are no tuition, housing or dining fees for students selected to attend this program.

    The curricula of these programs include a combination of hands-on learning and research via projects, and lectures by Carnegie Mellon faculty, teachers and graduate students. Students will also have the opportunity to engage in extracurricular activities that introduce them to new people, topics, and career opportunities. College students also serve as classroom assistants, tutors and mentors. 

    Students may apply for the program here. Feel free to share this email with any student you think might be interested in applying!

  • Lebanon Valley College - Actuarial Science Camp

    An actuary is a business professional who uses mathematical and
    financial tools to help identify and manage risk, so it's a great career for students who are strong mathematically but who are not necessarily interested in teaching. It's also great for students who like business and have good math aptitude.

    LVC runs a one-week summer program for rising high school seniors who want to learn more about the profession. Here's a link to the program web site:

    http://www.lvc.edu/academics/summer-community-programming/actuarial-science-camp/

    Because of Covid, we're running this year's camp remotely and reducing the price from $950 to $600. However, we're preserving the vital aspects of the experience:

    • students will work in teams and present their solutions to relevant problems;
    • practicing actuaries will give real time presentations and work with students on mini-projects;
    • RAs will facilitate co-curricular programming for students.
