Students gain hands-on lab experience and contribute to real-world research, with the potential to be credited on conference papers.
The SDSU Yang Lab Research Summer Camp offers high school students a unique opportunity to engage in real-world STEM research. Participants will delve into materials science, 3D printing, and bioinspired design through hands-on lab experience. Students will work with Dr. Yang and his team, gaining exposure to academic research processes and potentially contributing to conference papers. The program focuses on lab-based experimentation and research output rather than traditional classroom instruction, allowing students to explore how mechanical structures and design concepts are tested and applied in real projects. This immersive experience aims to inspire young people to pursue careers in engineering and technology.
A typical day involves hands-on lab work, exploring concepts in materials science, 3D printing, and bioinspired design, with opportunities to contribute to ongoing research projects.
This camp is best for high school students passionate about STEM and discovery, who are interested in real-world research and hands-on lab experience.
