Jackson Lab Student Summer Program
The Summer Student Program is designed to help students understand the nature of research science. The emphasis of this program is on methods of discovery and communication of knowledge, not the mastery of established facts.
Independent research
Under the guidance of a mentor, students integrate into an ongoing research program, develop an independent project, implement their plan, analyze the data and report their results. At the end of the summer, students present their findings to researchers, peers and parents.
Each year, the program consists of about 45 students from around the United States, from both high school and undergraduate institutions. Their varied interests and backgrounds create a lively, well-rounded atmosphere.
The Summer Student Program is available at The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, Maine) and the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine (Farmington, Conn.). Both campuses are unique and offer access to a variety of extracurricular activities. Students in Farmington have access to Boston and New York; students in Bar Harbor work adjacent to Acadia National Park.

miRcore Volunteer Program
I am reaching out to inform you of summer camps that we are offering to highly motivated high school students! Students will learn to use research tools that are currently used by scientists. Our camps provide a great opportunity for students to build research skills and learn more about the intersection between biology and computer science. Specifically, students will learn and engage in computational biology tools, analyzing high throughput sequencing data, and R programming for research.
A unique feature of our camps is that students will be eligible to continue their learning experience with the miRcore Volunteer Program, which meets throughout the school year online (remote students) and in person (at University of Michigan and at UCSD). Our volunteer program guides students for year-long group research to publish research abstracts and to present at our Annual High School Research Conference (2023 keynote speaker: Dr. Lindsey Criswell, Director of the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), NIH). Beyond personal research advances, miRcore Volunteer Program supports student growth in leadership and healthcare advocacy through student-directed voluntary activities. Volunteers are trained to lead school club Genes in Diseases and Symptoms, where they teach other students precision medicine and research methods to participate in the Conference. Our volunteer program also initiated miRcore Vaccine Advocacy to train students to empathetically share vaccine facts with others. With the Vaccine Advocacy activities, we recently held a vaccine workshop at local high school biology classes.

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, the Picker 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.
