High School Program: Summer Math & Science Honors Academy
SMASH 2008 June 22 - July 27, 2008
The ultimate goal of the Summer Math & Science Honors (SMASH) Academy is to encourage students from underrepresented communities (Hispanic/Latino, African American and Native Americans) to pursue studies and excel in science, technology, engineering, or math at top colleges and graduate schools.
Beginning in the summer after ninth grade, SMASH participants spend five weeks on the UC Berkeley campus attending science, math, and English classes - taught by experienced high-school teachers.
In addition to having a first-time UC experience by living on campus, students also conduct lab experiments, meet math and science professionals, take educational and recreational field trips, and build a supportive community.
