During the Asian American Academy of Science and Engineering (AAASE) Summer Academy at Silicon Valley, participating high schoolers will attend stimulating lectures by top professors and industry icons covering four exciting areas: AI & Machine Learning, Energy & Materials Science, Biology, and Rockets & Space Exploration. Faculty members include distinguished academics and leaders from institutions such as Stanford University, Princeton University, Columbia University, and cutting-edge startups. Students will also participate in STEM leadership & entrepreneurship workshops and a week-long group design project, mentored by distinguished leaders and renowned entrepreneurs. The program will culminate in a group project presentation on demo day; the top 2 winning teams from the Silicon Valley Summer Camp will be invited to the AAASE Fellow Summit at the National Academy of Science and Engineering headquarters, and compete to win the national championship!
Participants in the 9-day program will have full room and board on the Stanford University campus, allowing them to be fully immersed in the Stanford campus experience.
