Through the seed2STEM program, university labs host Indigenous high school students in Grade 9-12 for 6-week, paid summer research internships on a topics including neuroscience, engineering, chemistry, biology, math, physics, and other areas of STEM. Students are paid minimum wage to work 25 hours a week on research projects.
This past summer, the UBC PHAS dept hosted a cohort of seed2STEM students. Join us to learn more about the seed2STEM program from some of our recent PHAS mentors and get ideas for level-appropriate projects that include these talented students in your research team.
We will also include an overview of the upcoming UBC PHAS LaunchPad program, supporting indigenous university students in summer physics and astronomy research at UBC.
