The Sci | Art NanoLab is a highly competitive summer program for high
school juniors and seniors interested in collaborating with diverse
and notable minds to challenge traditional, polarized perspectives of
the arts and sciences. Throughout the 2-week intensive program,
students will make connections between cutting edge scientific
research, popular culture and contemporary arts. Lab visits,
workshops, hands-on experiments, and meetings with world renowned
scientists will be balanced with visits to museums, daily movie
screenings and meetings with famous contemporary artists who
collaborate with scientists. Small groups of students are taught by a
scientist / artist team with frequent visits from faculty in wide
range of disciplines. Sci | Art NanoLab students will benefit from
exposure and collaboration with art and science faculty and students
participating in this program's team-based interdisciplinary
nanoscience research.

Feedback From Last year's students
This program has encouraged me to think more creatively about the sciences
I have learned so much and I am now inspired to participate in the
arts and sciences. This was an amazing program
This is the best summer program I have ever been to.
The fieldtrips and lab visits were amazing, I've enjoyed my time here
and can't wait to see where this program will be able to take students
in the future!
