Last summer, I spent 4 weeks at Smith College and participated in their Summer Science & Engineering Program (SSEP). The program is designed for girls entering grades 9-12 who are interested in science, engineering, or medicine. Smith also offers a few other summer programs which you can explore at this link. The program is broken into two two-week sessions. During each session participants take one research based course taught by a Smith College professor. (The courses are not actual credit bearing college courses.) Current Smith students act as program assistants and the class sizes are very small. A typical day includes 3 hours of class in the morning and 3 hours in class in the afternoon. Some courses assign homework and the program assistants offer office hours. At the end of each session, the students present their work to their peers and families.
The courses I took were Introduction to Aeronautics with Professor Paul Voss and Designing Intelligent Robots with Professor Doreen Weinberger. 6 hours of one class a day is a lot, but I genuinely enjoyed both courses. In the aeronautics class I learned some physics and math related to flight and a lot of engineering design. We built gliders out of a variety of materials (see above). I enjoyed prototyping with tools like a milling machine (see below) and a CNC foam cutter. In my robots class it was fun to work on the hardware and software sides of a robot. My partner and I learned a lot about the cyclic nature of the engineering design process. (In other words, a lot of our original ideas didn’t work we needed to find a strategic new approach.)
While on campus I lived in Northrop and ate at Cutter-Ziskind. I also did an on campus interview and had my professors write me letters of recommendation. In addition to the academic coursework, there were tons of fun things to do. Each house (4 in total) hosted an afternoon activity and an evening activity. Some examples include rock climbing, karaoke, movies, and friendship bracelets. The house activities were optional. I sometimes used the time to read, study for the SAT (my favorite study spot is shown below), play tennis with friends, or just go for a walk. Occasionally there were mandatory activities. One mandatory event was a talk about the Big Bang by a Smith Professor. Another was a variety show that I sang at.
Classes ran 5 days a week, so weekends provided a bunch of free time. Students could go downtown, go on trips, or take part in other activities. I went on two hikes, visited the conservatory, and visited the art museum (my favorite piece is shown below). All in all, I had a wonderful experience at SSEP and would highly recommend it. The program definitely solidified Smith as my first choice. If you have any questions about SSEP, please feel free to ask!
I was looking at some colleges that offer, well, precollege programs over the summer. I clicked on University of Rochester’s page and the courses made me

I received a scholarship from the Pacific Northwestern College of Art in Portland Oregon for a precollege summer program. Looking at the site, I can't seem to figure out if the cost of the course includes housing (I'm assuming it doesnt, and it appears that housing is 500$ for a week). This makes it over $1000 for the course even after the scholarship. I'm trying to figure out if it is doable to raise money for it, and if it would even be worth it. Any advice?
P.S. here is a link to the page for the programs and for the housing
Final project for a character design class at Academy of Art University’s summer pre-college. The assignment was to reimagine Little Red Riding Hood in our own image, create a lineup of the four main characters (Red, the wolf, grandmother, the huntsman), and create a model sheet for one of our designs.
Info and conceptualization below:
The Story
The premise I eventually came up with is that Little Red and her grandmother are part of a tribe living in a forest of red trees. The name I zeroed in on was the Blood Lily tribe. (This is a tribe of people from all different backgrounds, so Red and her grandmother just happen to be Chinese.) I still haven’t decided on their motivations/purposes/reason for being, it’s just what I came up with in my head.
Red’s grandmother is like the tribe’s shaman, being skilled in secret healing and magical arts. They’re so secret, she has to live away from the main tribe so no intruders discover these arts. Hence, she needs a messenger, and that’s the job Red has.
Red herself is a stoic character, limiting the expression of her emotions. (I also had some idea about her having demon eyes; not sure what to do with that) Her grandmother is similar; however, she does have a habit of teasing people.
The red forest that the Blood Lily tribe takes residence in is also home to the Wolf, a creature made of shadow that they’re desperately trying to keep at bay. It can bend the space around it, being able to zip around as a shadow in the blink of an eye, and being able to disappear behind things like trees or trail signs. If Red were to go toe-to-toe with this thing, she would likely not be afraid of it.
The Huntsman of unknown name was sent into the red forest on account of suspicious activity being reported. He was chosen for the job because of his physical prowess, being able to wield a large hunting bow and swing a giant axe effectively. He was never given the specifics on what to hunt; he doesn’t know if his target is truly the Blood Lily tribe of the monsters that plague them.

The Test
After all the students designs were printed and mounted, our teacher decided to draw our interpretations of the characters. He said he did this because it would be the true test of a good model sheet. I thought he totally nailed mine.
Hope you enjoyed reading through this; I found this whole experience at AAU to be worthwhile.
