Penn Summer Science Initiative https://www.lrsm.upenn.edu/outreach/pssi/The LRSM has organized a free PSSI four week summer program for local high school students interested in materials science and engineering since 1993. Typically 24-28 students, usually juniors but occasionally well qualified sophomores, are accepted. The program consists of lectures on materials, a computer lab, experimental labs, and field trips to both industrial and Penn facilities. Students are drawn from schools in the Delaware Valley within easy commuting distance of the LRSM. Students from under-represented groups in science are encouraged to apply, especially those from the School District of Philadelphia, women, minorities and the disabled. Student should apply through our on-line application form. The application will require a resume, school transcript, and two letters of recommendation.
The FREE Penn Summer Science Initiative, PSSI, is sponsored by the Penn Materials Research Science and Engineering Center, MRSEC, which is funded by the National Science Foundation. It will accept up to 28 students entering their junior or senior year of high school from the greater Philadelphia region for a four-week intensive materials science course from July 5 – July 28, 2022 (Monday to Thursday). The course will run from approximately 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM daily. The course may include formal lectures from Penn faculty and affiliated researchers, materials science workshops, lab report writing seminars (very useful for college!), projects, hands-on activities, and field trips. Students will get exposure to a variety of materials characterization techniques, such as scanning electron and optical microscopies, thermal analysis techniques, mechanical testing, and x-ray diffraction. Students will be expected to work on reports, projects, and other assignments outside of program hours.
FreeStudents will be selected for this program based on their scholastic achievements, resume, interest in science, and recommendations. Students must have taken chemistry and/or physics courses.

PVSC Middle and High Schol Competition
https://ieee-pvsc.org/PVSC49/program-youth.php
This year, the most important photovoltaic conference in North America is taking place both in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA and online June 5-10, 2022. Students of all ages (grades 4 - 12) from around the world are invited to participate in two competitions to showcase their solar projects and ideas:
- Solar Energy 90-second Video Pitch Competition
- Solar Future Narratives, a storytelling competition

In each competition, students are encouraged to think about how solar energy (photovoltaic) power systems can benefit the environment and at the same time enhance their community. Students are asked to present a new technology or concept, a new way to utilize solar power, or a broader use of solar energy conversion through a video pitch or a creative story. Previous knowledge about solar cells is not required. All that is needed is a desire to learn more about solar energy and to participate in the competition. Submissions can be in any language.

The competition will take place virtually, but we also hope to invite participants to exhibit their work in person if COVID-19 health concerns allow. Stay tuned for more information about this!

We structure the competition to mirror how researchers conceive of novel ideas, develop the ideas into specific design objectives, implement the designs, and report the findings. Throughout the competition, we will provide guidance and direction by phone, email, and face-to-face meetings when possible.

PROGRAM FOR FUTURE ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTISTS AND STEWARDS (ProFESS)
https://www.landhealthinstitute.org/watershedstewardship
ProFESS, formerly the Philadelphia Watershed Stewardship (PWS) program, is an initiative originally run in partnership with the Philadelphia Water Department to empower high school students to become environmental scientists and stewards. LandHealth supports students in ProFESS to become change-makers, scientists, leaders, advocates and stewards for a better tomorrow, through natural history, urban ecology, and watershed health. Centered in immersive, exploration-based learning--at-the-source--to better understand the plants, animals, soil, water, and air of our city. ProFESS offers opportunities for students to share what they learn with community groups and the general public, becoming ambassadors for green spaces and clean water.

ProFESS started in Cobbs Creek, home to vibrant communities in west Philadelphia, its historically preserved hundreds of acres of open space offset by mass industrialization and modernization. In Cobbs and citywide, our watersheds have suffered from hundreds of years of polluted storm water runoff, inadequate drainage systems, leaking septic tanks, illegal dumping, and other ills. This is where ProFESS comes in!

Analysis of reaction products and chemistry in our garages, basements, and kitchens will be discussed. As well as the fate of chemicals in our environment.
• The Investigating Physics course will be taught using the building, analyzing, sharing, and extending (BASE) approach to teaching. The BASE approach will engage the student in a design and build activity, building a device, designing a circuit, etc. They will analyze their device and create a video or live presentation of the physics behind the device, while demonstrating how their device works. The class’s knowledge will be extended by presentations and active learning activities delivered by a university faculty member.
• Our biology course, Life as we Know It, will investigate life forms from the microbe to man. Who discovered the microbe and how? What are they? Where are they? Hydroponic gardens and habitat destruction, coupled with urban and suburban ecology will be studied to understand the survival challenges faced the species.
Our data science course will provide instruction in python, an introduction to statistics and applications to the sciences including analysis of DNA data, laboratory data and COVID infection. Lastly, students will utilize 3D printing, laser printing, and die cutting in project design activities that are part of each of the science courses.

Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM).
The scholarships, named in recognition of Dr. Bernard A. Harris, Jr., serve underrepresented
students pursuing careers in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
As a former astronaut, physician and businessman, Dr. Harris is an outstanding role model
dedicated to serving as a mentor to the scholarship recipients.
Applications will be reviewed by a committee appointed by the Council of the Great City
Schools. Recipients will be selected by Dr. Harris and notified in June. The scholarship will
be paid to the university of the recipient’s choice and can be applied to tuition and related
expenses during the 2022-2023 academic school year.

Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Sciences
https://sciences.pa-gov-schools.org/
The Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Sciences (PGSS) was established in order to provide a summer enrichment experience in the sciences and mathematics for talented Pennsylvania high school students and to encourage them to pursue careers in the fields of science, technology, engineering or mathematics. The program provides instruction in biological sciences, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computer science, with emphasis on collaborative learning and team research.

PGSS is proud to offer talented students the opportunity to participate in true scientific research and specialized scientific study. These opportunities are rarely available at even the best high schools, where top students are unable to be challenged at a suitably high academic level. The program also seeks to maintain a pipeline of modern technological talent throughout the state of Pennsylvania, where cities such as Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and State College are quickly becoming medical, technological, and entrepreneurial hubs. Finally, PGSS takes a special interest in promoting the involvement of under-represented minorities in STEM fields and strongly encourages students from all backgrounds to apply.
All program costs are covered for accepted students; no cost to applyHigh academic ability in science, high level of motivation, two essays, recommendations from a math teacher, a science teacher and either a guidance counselor or significant other school educator, resume11
