High School Digit(al) Evolution
July 25, 2016 - July 29, 2016
10 AM- 4PM
While the powerful upper limbs in a bat are used for flying, you won’t see many cats soar by overhead and yet these animals move with the same sets of bones! The skeletal anatomy of living mammals is wildly diverse. How do the bones of different mammals—from primates to dogs, seals to bats—evolve in different environments? In this weeklong course, Digit(al) Evolution, you’ll find out! Using 3D scanners and printers, together we will scan, print, assemble, and analyze mammal bones from our behind-the-scenes collections. We will use the digital technology of 3D-scanning and 3D-printing to understand differences in the mammalian body plan, from the shoulder all the way down to the tips of each individual digit. Get “hands on” in a new way to understand how these forms diversified and adapted to their environments.
Cost: Free

PROMYS provides a lively and supportive mathematical environment in which talented high school students explore the creative world of mathematics. Through their intensive efforts to solve a large assortment of unusually challenging problems in Number Theory, the participants practice the art of mathematical discovery - numerical exploration, formulation and critique of conjectures, and techniques of proof and generalization. More experienced participants may also study Modular Forms, The Mathematics of Computer Graphics, and Geometry and Symmetry. Problem sets are accompanied by daily lectures given by research mathematicians. In addition, a highly competent staff of 20 undergraduate counselors lives in the residence halls and is always available to discuss mathematics with students. Advanced participants also develop independent research projects advised by research mathematicians. Special lectures by outside speakers offer a broad view of mathematics and its role in the sciences and in future career options.
The application, which contains a collection of ten challenging problems can be found here on our website (www.promys.org). The application problems are not designed to be quick or easy for even the most talented student, so we advise all applicants to take time to think over the problems and to explain their reasoning.
The application deadline is April 1, 2016.

No Cost Summer Program for Bioengineering and Entrepreneurship at Columbia University
Applications are now open for the Hk Maker Lab - a six week engineering design and entrepreneurship program which is held at Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
Applications are available on our program page<http://hypothekids.org/hk-maker-lab/> where you can also see photos from previous summers. Last year we had 24 students, competitively selected from high schools where over 50% of students qualified for free or reduced price lunch, learn the engineering design process. Working in teams, the students designed, prototyped and built a solution to a global health problem. They pitched the idea to a panel of judges from the tech community. The winning team is incubating their idea at Harlem Biospace<http://www.harlembiospace.com/>, a biotech incubator for early stage life science companies.
The program is free. Students should be high performing sophomores and juniors who may have a strong interest in applied engineering. The program's objective is to change the ratio of under-represented minorities and women in STEM fields and we believe exposing students to applied STEM, helping them forge mentorship relationships and providing meaningful industry internships will go a long way to that end goal.
Applications are due March 18, 2016.

URBANFRAME
URBANFRAME is a unique hands-on lab for exploring design as tool to improve cities and the communities they support.
This program offers energetic and creative young people a chance to work closely with neighborhood groups, city officials, and their own hands to design and build tools, architectures, and recommendations that contribute to local communities, with implications for others globally. This year, URBANFRAME will be focusing on: Public Spaces: 2015 Summer Design/Build for Teens at MIT: 3 Weeks = 3 Designs
Too many public spaces are pleasant and functional but lack the extra excitement and that we wish for. Parks, plazas, sidewalks, bridges, subways, and roads. How often do you think of them as amazing or exciting? Is this such a radical idea?
This summer we will challenge this reality. Each team from our Teen Design/Build program at MIT will design and activate two public spaces in the Boston area. Partnering with a network of international URBANFRAME alums, they will also create a third public experience in a foreign city such as Barcelona, Paris, Toronto, Bombay, or the capital of the Canary Islands.
They will occupy real public lots and transform them into engaging public spaces and events.
Students will visit significant architectural sites, brainstorm ideas, build 3d models, present their designs, and then build and install their proposals for public use.
These hands-on design experiments will use the landscape of existing spaces to seed radically new ways for people in their communities to occupy public places.
Join the excitement of collaborating with other teens to take control and transform these city spaces. No experience is required. We just want your energy, optimism, and ideas!

We invite high school juniors to apply to an amazing summer opportunity! Made possible by a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the NYU Courant Institute is organizing its second year of the Girls’ Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Summer Program (GSTEM) .
NYU GSTEM ( http://cims.nyu.edu/gstem/ ) is a six-week program patterned after a similar program at MIT. Students will live at home and commute to internship sites for 4.5 weeks. They will work on a small project alongside researchers in the mathematical and physical sciences, produce a brief paper about their work, and deliver a short oral presentation to their peers.
The program will start with a week of lectures and workshops. One day in each of the other weeks will be a 'campus day', when students will be brought together for lectures, workshops, and field trips. NYU GSTEM also has tutors to support participants by helping them adjust to laboratory work and prepare their final talk and paper, and by providing other intellectual and emotional supports.
Here is a short calendar of events:
Monday, July 7-Friday, July 11: Orientation Week
Lectures, workshops, and information sessions on campus to help you prepare for the program.
Monday, July 14-Tuesday, August 12: Internship Weeks
Internship research four days per week and one campus day each week.
Wednesday August 13-Friday, August 15: Final Convocation
Program completion with final lectures, papers, and student project presentations.
The Sloan Foundation grant pays for all of the cost of this program except for tuition of $2750 for each student. Scholarships are available.
You can find our application online at http://cims.nyu.edu/gstem/apply/ . Applicants also need to submit an official transcript and one teacher recommendation. Applications are due by April 1 st .

SCIENCE RESEARCH MENTORING PROGRAM AT AMNH
The Science Research Mentoring Program is a free two-year program open to any New York City high school
student, entering the tenth or eleventh grade.
Students are linked to research mentors who are museum scientists and educators working in the fields of
anthropology, evolution, biodiversity, genetics and conservation biology. Students receive in-depth training
and support that enables them to take part in scientific research conducted at the Museum. The focus is on
students from groups traditionally underrepresented in science - women, minorities, and person with
disabilities, or who have lacked opportunities to pursue their scientific interests because of limited access to the mentors and facilities.
This program is designed to expose high school students to different careers in the biological sciences and
anthropology, with an emphasis on scientific research, in order to prepare them and make them stronger
candidates for college science programs.
