Harvard Science Research Conference
HSRC is a two-day conference for high school students (sophomores, juniors, and seniors) who are passionate in the sciences, hosted on Harvard’s campus and led by Harvard students and staff. The conference will entail a series of keynote speeches, workshops, and mentoring sessions designed to encourage and promote interest in the natural sciences as well as research. Conference participants will attend presentations by renowned Harvard professors and participate in workshops on important skills such as public speaking or resume writing. Students will also interact closely with extraordinary current Harvard students in the sciences, many of whom have won top accolades from competitions such as the Intel Science Talent Search and the Siemens Competition.
Although there is a competitive application for the conference, we wish to encourage all students to apply, and we emphasize that no prior research experience is necessary. HSRC is simply intended for students who have demonstrated interests in the sciences to learn more, and our short application should not be seen as a barrier for any students.
You can find the application as well as further information and details about HSRC at https://www.hcura.org/about-hsrc.

The Smith Summer Science and Engineering Program (SSEP) is a four-week residential program for exceptional young women with strong interests in science, engineering and medicine. Each July, select high school students from across the country and abroad come to Smith College to do hands-on research with Smith faculty in the life and physical sciences and in engineering.
Established in 1990, the SSEP annually serves more than 100 girls. Since its inception, nearly 1,800 high school students have participated, representing 46 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and 53 countries. After the program, participants return to high school better prepared to tackle tough science courses and understand what to expect in college.
Smith College is among the top-rated liberal arts colleges in the United States and one of the nation's largest colleges dedicated solely to the education of women. The Smith science faculty employs some of the finest researchers and teachers in the country. In 1999 Smith became the first women's college in the nation to establish its own program in engineering science, thePicker Engineering Program.
Central to the program is a learning environment that is rich in role models. SSEP offers hands-on, cooperative, investigative and challenging learning—where girls get all of the faculty's attention as well as the opportunities and encouragement to achieve their best. Smith undergraduate students with science majors also serve as teaching assistants. For more information visit http://www.smith.edu/summer/programs_ssep.php/research.php.
