Science Leadership
About the Camp
Are you ready to become a leader in the science world? Join us for Science Leadership camp, where your passion for science meets your desire to make a difference in the world! Throughout the week, participants are encouraged to think big and lead boldly. You’ll tackle real-world challenges in your community and craft a vision for change using your unique leadership and scientific skills. Learn from inspiring Penn State science students and faculty who will share their journeys and insights, giving you a glimpse into the future of science leadership. But that’s not all! Get ready to dive into cutting-edge research and engage in hands-on science activities that demonstrate concepts most don’t encounter until college. Whether you’re brainstorming solutions to global-scale issues or exploring the latest scientific breakthroughs, you’ll be equipped with the tools to make a difference. Join us at the University Park campus for a transformative experience that will stay with you through high school, college, and beyond.
