High School Level

  • Science Internship Program (SIP)
    • SIP is a summer-long (10 week) research internship program for high school  students in STEM fields. UCSC faculty, graduate students, and post-doctoral  researchers provide one-on-one mentoring of these high-school interns. The  research projects are real in that they are not made up just for the high-school students; instead, students are inserted into existing research projects here at  UCSC. Also available for graduating eighth graders!

  • Particle Physics Masterclasses
    • See what it’s like to be a particle physicist for a day! The day will begin with an  introduction to particle physics by particle physicists at SCIPP, who are directly  involved with experiments at CERN. The students will then work in groups to  analyze actual data from LHC (Large Hadron Collider) and later discuss their  results with masterclasses being held around the world. They will be supervised  the entire day by mentors trained to lead these classes and will provide assistance throughout.
