UNBC is inviting high school students to apply for a free week-long research internship this summer.
SPARK Discovery Week runs from July 22-26 at the Prince George campus. Open to students who will be entering Grades 10, 11 or 12, the week features hands-on experience in science and engineering.
It’s an opportunity for high school students to explore an area of research interest, learn more about how a university lab operates and gain experience that will help them with their high school studies while preparing them for post-secondary education.
“UNBC has state-of-the-art research laboratories, and this program allows young, enthusiastic minds to work with cutting-edge technology and equipment that they might not otherwise encounter until much later in their academic careers," says School of Engineering assistant Prof. Chinchu Cherian. "This early exposure can spark a deeper interest and understanding of different research fields within science and engineering. This networking can also open doors to the students for future academic and professional opportunities at UNBC.”
Students can choose from four streams:
- civil engineering
- environmental engineering
- natural product chemistry
- optics and photonics
Interested high school students can apply online and submit a brief expression of interest statement.
