Explore Accelerated Research Programs This Summer
Life moves fast and we know students don’t always have 10 weeks to participate in high school research. They could play a sport, have a job, be balancing a rigorous course load, or be otherwise too occupied to dedicate 2 and a half months to learning with Scholar Launch.
And that’s okay. We respect our scholars’ time, which is why we developed our Accelerated Research Programs. These programs, which only span 4 weeks and combine live and recorded sessions with our seasoned Faculty Advisors, offer rolling admissions so that students can enroll in a group or one-on-one cohort whenever they need to.
Students from 7th to 12th grade can gain access to all the benefits of our typical research programs in less than half the time. Take a look at the courses we’re currently offering.
Machine Learning: Theories and Applications
This program introduces the interdisciplinary subject of machine learning (ML), which is considered to be the basis of understanding artificial intelligence (AI). A Professor of Mathematics from the Georgia Institute of Technology will introduce students to core and advanced machine learning techniques, which can be useful in a variety of areas, such as healthcare advancement, social media optimization, and data analysis.
Taught by a research economist with the Central Bank of Mexico, students in this cohort will learn the fundamentals, price history, and investing strategies for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. In addition to learning about smart contracts and the risks associated with crypto, students will also explore how to construct trading and investing strategies on crypto assets organically.
Scholars who select this course will study under an adjunct professor from the Carnegie Mellon School of Computer Science to explore the frameworks and best practices for teaming, or the concept of artificial intelligence complementing and amplifying human ability. Students will analyze motivating scenarios and pathways for exploration while developing critical, data-oriented thinking and problem-solving in a technologically advancing world.
In this program, students will do a deep dive into the world of algorithms, data structures, and Python, a programming language. With a professor from Georgia Institute of Technology’s School of Mathematics as their guide, our scholars in this cohort will learn how to write their own algorithmic programs.
A former associate professor of Yale University’s School of Medicine, who was also a Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Publisher Compact Fellow for the United Nations, will introduce students to the UN’s 17 SDGs. These goals were instituted in 2015 in an effort to promote conditions of equity and sustainability around the world. Specifically, students will explore SDGs 3 and 13, which address climate change and health.
Our ARPs are primarily STEM-focused, making this a great opportunity for any students aiming to start a pre-med journey or take the first step towards a thriving career in tech. There’s no time to waste, so apply to one of our Accelerated Research Programs today!
