The program offers a unique opportunity to gain early exposure to the interdisciplinary field of neural engineering and its practical applications through hands-on experiences and direct interaction with university researchers.
The Center for Neurotechnology (CNT) Young Scholars Program-REACH is an intensive five-day summer program designed for high school students interested in neural engineering and neuroscience. Participants will receive an introduction to neuroscience, neural engineering, neuroethics, scientific communication, and the latest developments in brain-computer interfaces. The program aims to expose students to the field of neural engineering and provide basic preparation for college studies in STEM subjects and future STEM careers. Students will have the opportunity to tour CNT partner labs in departments such as Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, engage in hands-on projects, and attend presentations with scientists, engineers, or researchers from the CNT. Previous participants have engaged in activities like dissecting animal brains, recording neural signals from insect limbs, and working on sensory adaptations of prosthetic limbs. The program emphasizes the practical applications of neuroscience and offers guidance for pursuing STEM careers.
A typical day runs from 10 am to 3 pm for the in-person program, with a mix of lectures, hands-on projects, and group activities, including tours of CNT partner labs.
This program is well-suited for any high school student interested in a STEM career, with a specific interest in neural engineering and neuroscience.
