This internship offers a unique "SHTEM" approach, integrating humanities and arts into traditional STEM research, providing early exposure to cutting-edge, interdisciplinary projects with Stanford mentorship.
Stanford's STEM: Summer Internship (Kinesiology Focus) is an 8-week virtual research internship designed for high school juniors and seniors. The program provides early exposure to cutting-edge research in an academic environment, emphasizing the integration of humanities and arts into traditional STEM fields, known as "SHTEM." Participants work in small, collaborative groups (2-5 students) on multifaceted projects, mentored by Stanford faculty, graduate students, and postdocs. The curriculum focuses on developing research skills, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary approaches to problem-solving. Students will engage in hands-on projects that culminate in final presentations or research outputs, gaining valuable experience in data science, kinesiology, and other STEM areas. The program aims to inspire the next generation of researchers by providing a challenging and supportive learning environment.
Students will spend most of their time conducting research in the lab with their mentor, with the daily schedule determined between the student and mentor.
This program is best for high-achieving high school juniors and seniors who are curious about how STEM connects with the humanities and are excited to explore open-ended questions in a team setting.
