Our Summer Science Immersion program takes high school students out of the classroom and places them in real-life, high-tech laboratories immersing the student in a science career.
By the end of their 6 weeks, our students must write a research paper and give an overview of their research to their peers and interested scientists before graduating with 2 cooperative credits.
This program gives students a chance to put their knowledge to the test and apply it to real world situations. In addition, they have a chance to experience the career world and build work place skills that will benefit them in their future. Not only do students learn from their experience, they make a real contribution to the research itself. Our research projects range from chemistry and physics to biology and life sciences and incorporate aspects of engineering and technology.
We offer a student/Research Assistant ratio of 2:1 (occasionally 3:1). Each pair of students takes ownership of a particular research project under the mentorship of a Research Assistant/Tutor and a professional scientist/engineer.
Students live at campus for 6 weeks in the summer with young people from across Canada who share their passion for science. A full recreation program is organized for students sharing their free time with their peers at the campus. With a small campus size – between 15 – 25 students – living in a community of talented young people with common interests makes for lasting life friendships.
DRSA also provides career development experience for university and college science students. The undergraduates act in dual roles as tutors for the high school students and as research assistants at the host laboratories.
