The program offers a unique learning opportunity for students to experience the enjoyment and power of learning in an environment distinct from the traditional school day, taught by credentialed educators on the UC San Diego campus.
The UC San Diego CREATE Young Scholars Program offers middle and high school students an opportunity to engage in hands-on learning and explore novel topics in STEM and computer science. The program aims to spark curiosity and inspire young minds by providing a learning environment distinct from a traditional school day. Students can build skills in areas such as virtual reality game development, robotics, structural engineering, and electronic invention using Arduino microcontrollers. For high school students, the program can also help strengthen college applications by providing opportunities to explore academic interests and gain valuable experiences. The program emphasizes creativity, problem-solving, and interdisciplinary instruction, with courses taught by credentialed educators on the UC San Diego campus.
Children are encouraged to bring their own food and drink, as the program does not provide them. They will be provided a lunch area to enjoy the food and beverages they bring with them.
The program is ideal for middle and high school students who are interested in exploring new ideas, building skills, and discovering the joy of learning in STEM and computer science fields.
