The camp offers a rare opportunity for high school students to perform experiments in UT Southwestern classrooms and labs, learning directly from university staff and faculty.
The Biotechnology Camp at UT Southwestern is a ten-day immersive experience for high school students, specifically current 11th and 12th graders. The camp focuses on providing a head start in biotechnology, featuring a blend of hands-on laboratory activities, engaging classroom learning, and insightful guest lectures from UT Southwestern staff and faculty. Participants will gain practical experience with lab equipment and techniques, enhancing their understanding of scientific concepts beyond the typical high school curriculum. The program aims to encourage interest in STEM careers and prepare students for future science coursework by offering a unique opportunity to work in a university setting.
Campers spend half their mornings conducting experiments related to the material covered that day, followed by afternoon activities that encourage STEM-oriented careers, including lectures from UT Southwestern researchers and doctors, and tours of hospital departments.
This camp is ideal for high school students (current 11th and 12th graders) with a strong academic record in math and science who are interested in gaining hands-on experience in biotechnology and exploring science-related fields.
