RISE Research is a selective 1-on-1 mentorship program where high school students in Grades 9 through 12 conduct original, university-level research under PhD mentors from Ivy League and Oxbridge institutions. The program runs for 10 weeks at roughly one to two hours per week. Students produce an original research paper submitted to one of 40+ peer-reviewed academic journals; RISE reports a 90% publication rate. Fully online and available to students nationwide. Fall Cohort 2026 admission deadline: September 28, 2026 at 11:59 PM PST.

Virtual information session exploring Computer Science and Software Engineering at East Carolina University. Learn how these programs prepare students for careers in software development, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data science, and more through hands-on projects and real-world experiences. Also covers admissions, transfer pathways, internships, and career opportunities. Questions answered by ECU faculty and staff.

Join the UVM Water Resources Institute (WRI) at the Jericho Research Forest to explore the institute's weather monitoring infrastructure. Learn about the Vermont Mesonet—a statewide network of automated weather stations providing real-time, localized data—and the Summit to Shore network focused on snowmelt flood forecasting. Discover how these networks support flood resiliency, agriculture, utility management, and winter tourism across Vermont. Participants will tour an active station and see how real-time meteorological data is collected and reported. Drop-in event from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM EDT.

One-day summit hosted by NC State Data Science and AI Academy focused on 'Developing a Data Science Mindset.' Connects educators and partners from across North Carolina to explore practical approaches to data science education. Features a dedicated student track. Support for North Carolina educators includes: CEU credit, a $100 stipend for the first 50 educators, substitute reimbursement, hotel accommodations for teachers traveling more than 50 miles, and a dedicated student track.

Discover how machines can learn from data! In this interactive session, students will explore linear regression, a key concept in machine learning, by investigating how nutrition labels calculate calories. Using a visual tool, students will create food items, analyze carbohydrates, protein, and fat, and train a model to uncover the 4-4-9 calorie relationship used in U.S. nutrition labeling. Students will see firsthand how data, math, and machine learning work together to find patterns and make predictions. Held 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Lunch provided. Open to students in grades 10-12. Registration closes one week prior to session date or when capacity is reached. Email ballardi@cofc.edu to be added to the waitlist if full.

This seminar helps science teachers replace text-heavy slides with powerful diagrams and data visualizations that stick in a student's memory. Participants will explore the cognitive science behind how our brains process images to reduce classroom 'information overload.' They will learn to 'live-sketch' complex systems like cellular respiration or electric circuits to make invisible processes tangible. Runs December 7-11, 2026.
