Other enrichment opportunities:

The Seattle Children’s Research Institute is offering a summer program led by PhD-level scientists and educators to current 10th-12th grade students who will not have applied to college by summer 2024. This in-person program is free of cost and provides an amazing experience for those students looking to explore a future career in biomedical research. Students will learn about topics such as biochemistry, immunotherapy, gene editing, and infectious disease, and perform authentic laboratory experiments at Seattle Children’s Research Institute in downtown Seattle. The in-person Research Training Program will be held from July 8 to August 2. This program is for students from backgrounds that are historically underrepresented in the biomedical and health sciences. Applications are due by March 10th.
