This is a chance to do real work on a university campus (UCI)—with actual undergrads on a project we all do together. Unlike many college programs offered to high schoolers, this one is FREE OF CHARGE. For more information scan the QR code on the flyer. If you’ve got any questions, email jsjenkin@uci.edu.
