High School Life Sciences Careers Exploration Program

For high school students entering grades 10-12

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we unfortunately will not be able to offer this program in 2020.

A new program at the Buck, driven by student demand! This program is designed for high school students with an interest in the life sciences and curious about possible career paths.  In this one week course, students will get a broad exposure to the sills and techniques utilized in various life sciences careers, including lab techniques.

Students will also meet with speakers in a wide variety of careers within the medical, academic, and biotech sectors, with the opportunity to ask in-depth questions about educational paths, compensation, and challenges within the field. Students will leave feeling excited about their futures!
