CCB launches 2024 High School Lab Pathways Summer Research Program
CCB’s third annual High School Lab Pathways Summer Research Program is right around the corner! The program, formerly known as High School Lab Skills, was renamed this year to reflect the program’s goal of creating an accessible path into research and STEM.
On May 30th, CCB joined our program partners at the Harvard Ed Portal for “Match Day” at their office in Allston! Eight students from Brighton High School and Boston Green Academy have been attending a weekly science class at the Harvard Ed Portal, and the Match Day event celebrated the exciting things they learned this Spring and provided an opportunity for CCB program staff, faculty, graduate and postdoc mentors, and Ed Portal staff to get to know each other. The high school students were handed a letter which contained their highly anticipated summer lab placement assignments. Once the matches were revealed, students connected with their mentors to share more about their hopes for the summer and to finalize details of their summer research.
Students will officially join our community on July 8, 2024 for their six-week paid internship as part of the university-wide Harvard Summer Youth Employment Program. They will participate in projects in the Betley, Balskus, Jacobsen, Mason, Ni, R. Liu, and Woo Labs. We hope you will welcome them to our community and take every opportunity to share your science journey with them.
Please save the date for our end-of summer program celebration which will be held the morning of Thursday, August 15, 2024. This event will be open to everyone. Refreshments will be served.
