Students entering Grades 7-12 (plus those who just graduated) are invited to register for MIT’s Summer HSSP, which will run virtually on six Saturdays, 1PM-4PM, July 9 – August 13. Register by June 26 with your preferences for classes to be entered in the lottery for class assignment. The total cost is $40, regardless of the number of classes taken, and generous need-based financial aid is available. The fee is paid after the lottery results are announced, during the period in which remaining seats may be reserved on a first-come/first-served basis. For more information, email summer-hssp@mit.edu. HSSP is run by MIT students, once again Zooming from far and wide to offer 25 courses (plus more to be added later), including these STEM-related ones:

• Modeling Markets, Pandemics, and Peace: The Mathematics of Multi-Agent Systems
• Intro to Computer Science and Programming with Python
• A Very Basic Intro to Python Programming
• Optimization in Graph Theory
• Every Reference in “Finite Simple Group (of Order Two)” (And Possibly, Math (But No Promises))
• Introduction to Proofs
• Axiomatic Geometry and Proofs
• Astrobiology
• STEM Lecture Series
• Problem Solving from Common Sense Extension
• Environmental Pollution
• Introduction to Epidemiology
• Great and Small: Crazy Electrons
• Saving the World with the Science of Sustainability!
• Put Light to Work: Exploring the ultrafast with light
• Astronaut Health: Optimization of Human Performance for the Extreme Environment of Space
• Algorithmic Justice through Media Literacy Education
• Beyond Medicine: Exploring Inclusivity and Equity in Healthcare

The on-campus summer programs are full, but applications are still being accepted — until midnight tonight — for the virtual version of Tufts University’s Mini-Med School for high-school students, July 11-22.

The Public Health Museum in Tewksbury is again offering its free summer public health learning experience, Outbreak!, online for students entering Grades 10-12 in the fall. It’s designed for students interested in careers in public health, medicine, epidemiology, bioethics, nursing, virology, mental health, or related fields. The program consists of interactive workshops, discussions with public-health experts, and Q&A panels with college students. It will run online Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 9AM-1PM, July 18-29 with some additional programming outside of those hours. Apply here. For more information, email outbreak@publichealthmuseum.org.

Kids 4 Coding is offering an $80 discount through May 7 for its in-person summer STEM programs at Cambridge Matignon School or Roxbury Latin School, running weekly July 11-August 5. Weekly costs for these fun, engaging, and collaborative programs are $619 for full days or $319 for half days.

Kids 4 Coding is also offering Virtual Summer Courses on a weekly basis in one-hour sessions with live instructors and small classes (5:1 ratio), June through August, at weekly costs starting at $319.

The Stanford Program for Inspiring the Next Generation of Women in Physics (SPINWIP) is a free, three-week, online program designed to inspire high-school students to explore physics. It will run July 11-29, Noon-4PM EDT. Students will explore quantum physics, quantum computing, astrophysics, and cosmology. They will learn how to code in Python and then apply their coding skills to physics-based projects. Students will attend lectures by Stanford professors and researchers and work in small groups led by Stanford undergraduates, as well as attend college planning and career development workshops. While SPINWIP is designed for women in physics, students of all genders and gender identities are welcome. No prior experience in physics or coding is needed. Preference will be given to first-generation students, students from underrepresented backgrounds in physics, and rising juniors. Apply by May 9. For more information, email spinwip_info@stanford.edu.
