Do you want to change the world? Then you have OPTIONS in engineering and computer science! The University of Evansville OPTIONS for High School Girls teaches participants about the exciting and rewarding career opportunities available in engineering and computer science. The Harlaxton Experience 2018 will be a 10-day program in London, England, and nearby Harlaxton College.

Hosted by the University of Evansville College of Engineering and Computer Science, this day camp gives middle school boys the chance to spend their days learning from UE faculty, staff, and students. Each day, the boys will have a chance to explore different areas of science or engineering by taking classes and working on team projects. Areas of exploration include electrical engineering, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, computer science, and physics. Additionally, the boys will tour local industries to see how engineering is important in the workplace. The camp is designed to give middle school boys a better understanding of what types of opportunities are available in fields most closely related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Hosted by the University of Evansville College of Engineering and Computer Science, the camp is designed to give middle school girls a better understanding of what types of opportunities are available in fields most closely related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through hands-on projects and other activities. Team-building and confidence-building activities are also part of the fun.

Get ahead this summer and earn college credit with academically-motivated students from around the world in Duke University’s Summer College for High School Students. 

An intensive and extremely ‘hands-on’ camera and lighting class for emerging cinematographers, producers, directors, editors and writers from all over the world.  

Ever wonder how human insulin can be made from E.coli? Since the 1980s, biotech companies have been making medical drugs using biotechnology. These companies use living cells to produce proteins, antibodies, and nucleic acids for therapeutic purposes. This course takes students through a biotechnology “campaign” where they will transform E.coli into a green fluorescent protein factory. Students work in teams, simulating a start-up biotech company.  Teams will attempt to optimize expression of proteins, run industrial-sized fermentors, perform protein analysis and separations, and purify their own biopharmaceuticals, on time and under budget. This course focuses on the basics of recombinant DNA technology, as applied to biopharmaceutical manufacturing, in a classroom setting. Students will work through a “production campaign” including all key steps of manufacturing a protein product. Course Prerequisite: Students must complete high school biology and chemistry before enrolling in this course.

What causes disease? How do we diagnose and treat disease? This course will explore human biological systems, functions, and issues such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, and neurological disorders. We will explore the genetic, infectious and environmental causes of disease, and learn how various research laboratories on campus use modern scientific techniques to unravel these mysteries. The program will incorporate a variety of laboratory and active learning activities. Students will also explore the general principles of science.

Introduction to Engineering is designed for students who show a great interest in mathematics and science and have a desire to further their knowledge in those areas. Throughout the week the students will experience engineering firsthand and will be exposed to the different types of engineering (i.e. chemical, geological, etc.) and careers available in these fields. Each day will focus on a different area of engineering and challenge the students during actual labs taught at the University of Mississippi.

STEM Camp for Boys is a week-long camp that provides boys in rising 6th-8th grades an opportunity to explore the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Each day will focus on a new concentration in these areas. Men working in these fields will host lectures each morning and campers will spend the afternoons participating in hands-on activities related to the day’s topic. Tours of related and interesting facilities will also be conducted throughout the week.

Robotics plays an important role in computing; it's the way in which computers can make a physical difference in the world around them. In this course, we'll apply a research-based approach to robotics, which means that our primary focus will be on understanding and implementing algorithms to solve a variety of robotics problems.

The St. Louis String Collective in collaboration with Summer At SLU is hosting its first annual St. Louis String Summit. The St. Louis String Summit is camp for violin, viola, cello and bass players to explore many styles of music as well as contemporary playing techniques. Students will be placed in small bands to work on ensemble playing. They will also be able to take classes in everything from regional fiddle styles to improvisation to the “chop” and much more.

This course improves students speaking and listening skills by working on high beginner-level listening comprehension, pronunciation, and discussion skills. Students apply high-frequency academic vocabulary to improve oral communication skills in a range of informal academic settings. Students build note-taking strategies that promote listening and recall in their language classes. Proficiency level: high beginner.
