Month: May 2020

I just came across this awesome and FREE summer opportunity!

International Science Engagement Challenge (ISEC) is a summer camp developed to bring together young science enthusiasts from around the world.

Online ISEC 2020 will be free of charge and is open to students between the ages of 16 and 24.

Applications are due by May 10th, although early application is preferred. 

Students will take part in a short, two-week research project of their choice, while collaborating with 1-2 project partners. In addition to learning science and research methods, this will be an opportunity to learn a little more about the cultures of other ISEC participants.

We have many enthusiastic mentors with knowledge in a wide variety of fields, including Astronomy, Astrochemistry, Biology (Computational Biology and Genetics), Climate Change, Coding and Computer Science, Environmental Sciences, Geochemistry, Geology, Mathematics, Philosophy of Science, and Physics (Astrophysics, Quantum Mechanics, Particle Physics & Thermodynamics). 

Online ISEC will take place between June 29th and July 26th, with each participant starting their two-week project either on June 29th, July 6th, or July 13th, depending on their own personal schedules, as well as that of their mentor. This means that for a student starting a project on June 29th, their Online ISEC session will run until July 12th. You can find more information, including the application form, at https://summeratisec.org/online-isec/.
