2008 Summer Opportunities

Application deadline is April 11, 2008.

Youth Programs is a division of Michigan Tech’s Educational Opportunity Department.  Our primary goal is to excite precollege students about learning and higher education.  During the school year, Youth Programs hosts educational events and programming for precollege students.  Our busiest time is during the summer when we run Summer Youth Programs.
During the summer over one-thousand participants come to our campus from all over the nation and the world for discovery-based learning.  University faculty, graduate students, role models, and other professionals lead hands-on activities, field trips, laboratory experiments and team projects.  Each program is designed to challenge participants and encourage them to explore a world of opportunity.  In 2007 we celebrated the 35th anniversary of Summer Youth Programs!
