Michigan Tech Summer Youth Programs will introduce you to careers and allow you to develop new skills through laboratory, classroom, and field experiences. The program includes more than 40 one-week explorations, scheduled over multiple weeks. You may attend only one exploration per week, but can register for multiple weeks. Last summer, over 1000 students attended SYP from all over the United States, South Korea, Dominican Republic, and more.

We offer 4 different types of programs:
* Middle School Exploration Programs: for current 6th - 8th graders
* High School Exploration Programs: current 9th - 11th graders
* Pathway Programs: current 9th - 11th graders (Some Middle School Pathway Programs also available)

An exploration is an intensive week-long look at a particular field or area of interest and is offered in six different categories designed to introduce you to a world of opportunities. Explorations allow you to learn to program a computer, perform diagnostic chemical tests or cast molten metal. In other explorations you could fly a plane, learn to use field equipment for ecology, or build your own computer. Each exploration is led by a Michigan Tech faculty member, graduate student, or other specialist in that particular field. You will spend approximately thirty-two hours investigating your area of interest through classroom activities, hands-on laboratory exercises, field trips, and discussions with your instructors and other students.

Enrollment is open until each class reaches seating capacity. Classes are limited to 20 students or less.
