Wolfram High School Summer Research Program

The Wolfram High School Summer Research Program is an intensive, project-based research program for motivated high school students interested in computational thinking, artificial intelligence, programming and STEM. Over approximately two and a half weeks, students develop their computational and research skills and work with expert mentors on original projects. Each student produces a computational essay and an interactive research paper, with successful work published after the program.

Authentic computational research experience. Mentorship from Wolfram experts. Several opportunities to interact directly with Stephen Wolfram. Advanced programming and computational-thinking skills. Original research project. Computational essay and interactive research paper. Publication of student work. Potential presentation at the Wolfram Technology Conference. Pathway to further opportunities through the Wolfram Emerging Leaders Program. Exceptional students may receive further research or internship opportunities within the Wolfram ecosystem.

Applicants are generally 14–17 years old, although exceptional 13-year-olds may sometimes be accepted. Students must remain under 18 through the end of the program. International students are welcome. The application includes written information about previous experiences and projects, a short coding challenge, and a video interview with the Admissions Director. Prior computer-science or research experience is not required.
