The CHROME Lab hosts local high school students per year who are interested in attending Saint Louis University for engineering or computer science. The high school student experience tends to be more freeform, tailored, and focused on the student gaining beginner-level footholds in basic science and engineering skills. But this can vary depending on the student's skill level! High school student experience run the gambit of general shadowing to full project prototype, depending on their level of interest and skill. 

As these experiences are more involved and tailored to individual students, the CHROME Lab can only offer 2-3 high school student positions per year, usually over the summer. During the high school student experience, you can expect to work closely with a graduate student project lead, either shadowing them as they work or performing small assignments that could benefit the greater project.  

Some former high school projects include:

• Performing set-up routines and basic coding to get a robot hand operational

• 3D modeling and printing hardware parts

• Building small mechatronic systems with Arduino
