TRIP Initiative: summer program at Temple University for students interested in STEAM

Fox Chase Cancer Center, in partnership with the College of Science and Technology at Temple University, is offering an intensive 5-week laboratory training program called the Teen Research Internship Program (TRIP) Initiative for select high school students from Philadelphia and the surrounding communities. The program offers a hands-on training experience in a science lab to increase both student excitement about science and to help prepare them for future careers in science and medicine.

The next TRIP course will be held in the Science Education Resource Center on Temple University’s main campus in Philadelphia on Tuesdays and Thursdays from July 10, 2018 through August 9, 2018.  After the in-lab portion of the course concludes, students will present their work at a scientific symposium on Thursday August 16, 2018. Two sessions of the program will be offered where Session A is from 8:30 am-1:30 pm and Session B is from 12-5 pm (Note: both sessions overlap from 12-1:30 pm).  Up to 8 students will be enrolled in each session.

Importantly, this program is free for all students.  Our previous sessions of the program have shown it to be transformative to students, giving them a much needed peek into the science world that both excites their imagination and helps with career path decisions.

Instructions on how to apply can be found athttp://www.tripinitiative.com/.  We are looking for bright, talented and motivated students that can commit to all 5 weeks of the program and that want to learn more about research.
