Cornell Engineering : CURIE Academy

CURIE Academy

July 20-26, 2008

The CURIE Academy is a one-week summer residential program for high school girls who excel in math and science and want to learn more about careers in engineering.

Cornell University's world-renowned faculty and graduate students will lead CURIE participants in classes, lab sessions, and project research. Social events, panel discussions, and other out-of-classroom activities will provide participants with opportunities to network informally with Cornell faculty, staff, and students.

This summer, spend a week making new friends; experience life on a university campus; and explore the many exciting possibilities awaiting you in engineering.
