Science-minded high schoolers offered college-level courses at North Park University's Summer Science Academy
CHICAGO, Jan. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Back by popular demand, North Park University will open its state-of-the-art science facilities to high schoolers who enroll in our Summer Science Academy, June 17-July 11. Now in its fourth year, the Summer Science Academy will offer credit-bearing, university-quality instruction in a supportive, enriching environment.
"All the experiments were very interesting. I had a lot of fun, along with learning a lot," said one 2018 student participant.
"These courses are a great opportunity for students to experience science as closely as it could be at a college level but with the added guidance appropriate for high schoolers," said Dr. Yoojin Choi, the program's director.
New to Summer Science 2019 is Forensic Chemistry, a perfect opportunity to experience North Park's Chemistry Instrumentation Laboratory. Students learn the chemistry behind techniques utilized in examining physical evidence from crime scenes. Like all Summer Science courses, Forensic Chemistry will use hands-on, experiential learning.
Students can choose from the following courses:
Human Anatomy Boot Camp: Department of Biology
Fins, Fur, and Feathers: Department of Biology (2 weeks)
Genomes from the Chicago River: Department of Biology (2 weeks)
Forensic Chemistry: Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry
Body Dynamics and Comfort: Division of Health Sciences
North Park started the program so high schoolers could have access to high-quality, engaging science courses, according to Choi. The idea, she said, is to foster in young people a curiosity about science, which eventually leads to their involvement in science-related careers.
