McLean, Va. (October 30, 2023) – The Center for Excellence in Education (CEE) is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for its 2024 Research Science Institute (RSI), which is collaboratively sponsored with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, MA on its campus.
RSI ’24 will be in session from June 23 to August 3, 2024. It will bring together top U.S. and international high school students who have completed comparable to three years of high school for an intensive, six-week program that provides students with the opportunity to conduct original, innovative research. Typically, students apply in the middle of their junior year (a.k.a. third year, or grade 11) of high school. High school seniors are not eligible to apply. RSI is cost-free for students to attend.
Participants experience the entire research cycle from start to finish. They read the most current literature in their field, draft and execute a detailed research plan, and deliver conference-style oral and written reports on their findings.
During the first week of RSI, students participate in intensive STEM classes with accomplished professors. The heart of RSI is the five-week research internship where students conduct individual projects under the tutelage of scientists and researchers.
To apply, visit https://www.cee.org/apply-rsi. The deadline is December 13, 2023.
