The Wake Forest Summer Immersion Neuroscience Institute is an unforgettable experience for high school students. Neuroscience is an exciting and rapidly growing interdisciplinary field encompassing the study of the nervous system and its role in regulating behavior. Students will examine the structure of the brain through hands-on dissection, learn how drugs affect the brain and how sensory systems detect stimuli in the environment, visit active neuroscience labs, and conduct exciting neuroscience experiments.

This course is for the absolute beginner, who most likely has had no prior exposure to coding. No prior coding experience is required but basic QWERTY keyboarding skills are helpful. The goal of this camp is to use game play to motivate the value of students acquiring basic coding skills, to develop a foundational familiarity with the JavaScript language, build an understanding of gaming logic and architecture involving game engines, and play the games! Upon completing this camp, attendees should: • Better understand their own personal interest in developing further coding skills and knowledge • Have established a strong knowledge base for extending their coding ability either via further coursework or self-directed study • Have gained direct technical experience with fundamental programming structures; sequence, selection (if’s or decisions) and repetition (loops), variables and data types • Have gained direct technical experience with gaming concepts and game engines This is a great, low-stress opportunity for students to encounter technology and program development for the first time. No prior programming experience required – basic keyboarding ability (QWERTY) and nothing more. Camp attendees must bring their own computer; Windows or Apple / Mac work equally well. iPads/tablets will not work.

Perhaps our most popular and successful tech camp gets better every year. Critical thinking, problem-solving, and disciplined creativity will all be challenged and engaged in this intensive, weeklong, full day camp (no camp on Friday). This camp will introduce students to Java, the world’s most popular and important programming language. Using the object oriented structures of Java, students will learn to use an IDE (Interactive Development Environment) to design and compile programs, learn the basic constructs of programming structures and objects, and practice their new knowledge on fun projects (e.g., basic game design, calculators, etc.). Java is the official language of the AP Computer Science A Exam, and your daughter or son will leap ahead with the highly extensible skills and knowledge presented in this immersive camp experience. No prior programming experience required – basic keyboarding ability (QWERTY) and nothing more.

Join us this summer for one (or two) residential high school camps that focus on a variety of content areas. Students choose one subject area to study for the entire week and enjoy academic sessions led by experienced faculty and talented college students multiple times each day. Students will get a five-day, college-like experience that includes all food, lodging, supplies, evening activities and hands-on exploration of an academic area in the context of a Christian community. We can’t wait to explore with you this summer!

Students entering 7th -9th grades can join educators at the Saint Louis Zoo for a fun-filled four-day session to learn about biodiversity hotspots, culminating in a Thursday overnight program to end the week.

If you are starting out with social media, creating short films with friends, or capturing the world in photos, then this camp will inspire and educate you as a creator. Hear from creative professionals and get an inside perspective. What works? What doesn’t?

This course introduces students to the fundamental principles of acting without working with a formal script. Through structured exercise and games, students study Concentration, Observation, Given Circumstances, and Stage Awareness. Students will create their own performance material, exploring the physical self, space/staging, working with props, and ensemble and interplay with fellow actors. The coursework is very physical and creative. The work is focused on understanding the art of acting through games, exercises, reading, discussions, and evaluations of one’s own work and the work of fellow classmates. No acting experience is required.
