SCIENCE IMMERSION PROGRAM

What is the Science Immersion Program (SIP)?

• It is a required, nongraded course.

• It can be taken before the start of the academic year for incoming Grade 10 to 12 students.

• The SIP is a two- or three-week internship program with a minimum of 80 hours official internship time in a participating science or research institution.

• Ideally, student-interns will be assigned to the institution based on their interests and chosen specialization for Grades 11 and 12.

Through the SIP, student-interns are expected to:

• learn science, engineering, and research laboratory skills and concepts;

• foster interaction with researcher, scientists, and technical personnel as they participate in research projects;

• be exposed to basic science or engineering principles applied in the operation of the facility; 

• identify possible research problems to be pursued in the future; and

• establish linkages with institutions especially for future collaborations.
