Summit Education: 2026 Summer Programs
Summit Education hosts virtual summer programs for high-achieving students in grades 8- 12 interested in STEM. In 2026, these programs will include the Summit STEM Fellowship (SSF) and Summit Research Scholars (SRS).
Summit STEM Fellowship (SSF): SSF aims to empower the next generation of leaders in STEM. Students explore diverse STEM fields and career pathways, learning from 50+ mentors from Harvard, Stanford, and MIT. The program is structured as a flexible 10-15 hour weekly commitment, allowing students to join alongside other summer activities.
Summit Research Scholars (SRS): SRS helps students build the skills necessary for original research. Students learn how to conduct literature reviews, develop research questions, and use Python, statistics, and data science to solve real-world problems. At the end of the program, students work on a Research Capstone and original research proposal.
