Diving into the Wolfram High School Summer Research Program

As the Precollege Educational Programs Manager at Wolfram, I have the privilege of working with hundreds of bright, passionate students from middle school to college. In this post, we’ll be exploring the Wolfram High School Summer Research Program, Wolfram’s flagship program for younger students. I’ve been the Program Director since 2019, and it’s been a joy to expand and extend the Wolfram education ecosystem over that time. We have worked hard to create enrichment programs for talented students, and we now have a rich ecosystem of opportunities for students of all ages.

Wolfram Middle School Summer Camp: A Virtual Learning Experience

This summer marks the fifth annual Wolfram Middle School Summer Camp. Students at the camp learn the basics of Wolfram Language and make connections with other young STEM enthusiasts from around the world. Our goal with this fully virtual camp is to offer an on-ramp into other Wolfram programs for girls and gender non-conforming students with diverse academic backgrounds.

Wolfram Education Programs for Middle School, High School and Beyond

The precollege education team at Wolfram runs a wide range of programs and experiences for students from middle school and up. Many of our students start out with asynchronous online programs to get a feel for computational thinking and coding before moving on to our synchronous online programs or in-person programs.

Electric Circuits Made Simple with Wolfram

Electrical engineering is the technological field responsible for the design and development of components that make modern devices functional and efficient. In a computer, for example, the central processing unit (CPU) is just one of thousands of necessary parts that are designed and managed by electrical engineers. Other electrical components include those that handle energy distribution, integrate measuring sensors, process various signals, control voltage levels and produce outputs such as sound and images. This complex orchestration of components ensures that computers and other electronic devices operate reliably and effectively.
