The program offers an intensive, in-depth learning experience with small class sizes and specialized instructors at a leading university for gifted education.
The UW Robinson Center Summer Programs offer academically advanced middle and high school students intensive, hands-on enrichment. The Summer Challenge program, for students completing 5th or 6th grade, emphasizes hands-on learning, field trips, and activities. Students can engage in subjects like philosophy through analyzing popular culture or combine chemistry, ecology, research, writing, and theater to understand environmental issues. The Summer Stretch program, for students completing 7th-10th grade, provides an accelerated, rigorous academic experience. Students can build robots in Physics: Rockets & Robotics, investigate ancient Egyptian number systems in Mathematical Mysteries, master essay writing, participate in mock trials, or explore mathematical thinking. Both programs feature small class sizes and instructors who are specialists in their fields, fostering high-level thinking, intellectual adventure, and a deep pursuit of understanding. Students gain critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills through lectures, labs, workshops, and project-based learning.
Students attend classes from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM, with breaks and lunch, focusing deeply on a single area of interest through interactive lectures, workshops, and hands-on activities.
The program is best for highly motivated, academically advanced students who thrive in an intensive, fast-paced, and in-depth learning environment.
