<p>Anyone know any math summer program that I can still join (deadline not reached yet)? I’m going to be a senior in HS next year and I live in the LA area.</p>
<p>there is a summer math program at UCLA - it is non residential

<p>Mathzoom might still be an option

<p>I guess I’m kind of in the same boat as ryanxing. Anyone know any good math or science programs still open over the summer? I live in NYC and also will be a senior.</p>
<p>@anotherparent: Thanks for the link. I will definitely check them out. But do you know when’s the deadline for the UCLA program?</p>
<p>Also, anyone know any astronomy programs I could participate in over the summer? Or Planetariums/Astronomical institutions in the Los Angeles area where I can volunteer at? Griffith Observatory and Glendale Planetarium are not looking for volunteers currently.</p>
<p>okay, i have posted a thread on this topic in summer programs but I just wanted to ask on this thread as well.
this is my second day working at a lab, but very recently i heard back from a second lab, at the same university, which had previously said that they were full. apparently some things have changed and now they are expressing interest in having me as a summer student.
it is clear that i will be able to do much more interesting and self driven work at the 2nd lab - from what i have heard of the 1st lab from previous interns there, it is mainly about getting free labor from HS students.
yet i don’t want to alienate anyone in the 1st lab by terminating the internsihp - although there are several other high school interns there so i’m sure they could easily have someone take my place.
i’d appreciate any input. thanks.</p>
<p>earthwatch student challenge awards program! 
completely free, awesome program :)</p>
<p>I wish I’d known about CC a couple of months ago, then I could have applied to these summer programs… Ah well, I still participated in COSMOS last summer, and this summer I’m attending a decent sounding program as well. COSMOS was a lot of fun. I don’t know how good it looks on an app, but I’d definitely recommend it to anyone, especially those who live in California, because you get a lot out of the money you pay.</p>
<p>ISSYP (International Summer School for Young Physicists) is also a very good program who those have passion with physics.:D</p>
<p>ok, so i am going to be a freshman next year. Yea that is pretty young, BUT i see so many people going to great summer programs and i need to prepare. Many programs are for juniors or seniors, but would you know anything for rising sophmores? for next summer of course.</p>
<p>Is there a post that mainly focuses on free programs?</p>
<p>I have a question, to apply for TASS, do you need to be a upcoming junior doing it, or a upcoming sophmore in the year of 2011?</p>
<p>an excellent summer opportunity: </p>

<p>See the above link for a detailed description, but here’s a piece of it: </p>
<p>The East-West Center is now accepting applications from U.S. high school sophomores and juniors for the 2010 Partnership for Youth (P4Y) Program. Offered annually since 2005, the program provides high school students with a unique, structured overseas learning experience, designed to foster global knowledge, and connections while also developing students’ academic and personal transferable skills, such as media literacy, critical thinking, problem-solving, and cross-cultural leadership as well as presentation and communication skills. </p>
<p>The 2010 P4Y Program will, again, take place in Cambodia, where students will examine the ongoing Khmer Rouge trials, officially known as the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia/ECCC and supported by the United Nation, as a case study for analysis of our understanding and perceptions of the Khmer Rouge period and interrelated issues of history, justice, reconciliation, and national development. The program will also examine the role of the media in shaping public opinions among Cambodians particularly the youth about the legacies of the Khmer Rouge rule</p>
<p>P4Y is a program of the East-West Center, an internationally recognized nonprofit research and educational organization based in Honolulu, Hawaii. Established by the U.S. Congress in 1960, the East-West Center works to strengthen understanding and relations between the United States and the countries of Asia and the Pacific. Its Education and Research programs are multinational and collaborative in nature, provide rigorous and critical analysis of key issues of common concern to the region and the United States and involve, and foster partnerships that address significant, real world problems. The program also draws on the East-West Centers extensive K-12 experience to provide high school youth with high quality, innovative global learning opportunities in the Asia Pacific region. Participants have hailed P4Y programs for engendering transformative learning, while their parents/guardians and teachers have seen them transform into more confident and independent learners.</p>
<p>How about any summer programs in FL?</p>
<p>Junior State of America summer program at Stanford, Princeton, and Georgetown (to the 1st question)</p>
<p>Are there any programs open to students from other countries?
Preferably ones that aren’t math/science orientated?</p>
<p>Hanana, I went to NIAHD at William and Mary this summer. It was one of the BEST experiences of my life, and I got college credit. It’s history/gov’t related, and I highly recommend it.
