The program offers a fast-paced, hands-on introduction to exciting STEM topics, taught by instructors with advanced degrees, providing a platform to explore potential college majors and careers.
The Boston Leadership Institute's Physics of Space program offers high school students an immersive, one-week experience exploring the cosmos. Students will delve into techniques for calculating distances in outer space, from our Moon to distant galaxy clusters. The curriculum covers the fascinating behaviors of the sun, planets, and moons, the gigantic size and shape of our solar system, and the exploration of newly detected exoplanets and the methods astrophysicists use to find them. Participants will also investigate the life cycle of stars, including our Sun, and the ultimate fate of our solar system. Hands-on aerospace engineering activities, such as constructing model landing crafts and rockets, are a core component. Astrobiology, the study of life on other worlds and the conditions necessary for it to thrive, is a prominent theme throughout the week, with an emphasis on the habitability of exoplanets. The program aims to provide a fast-paced, hands-on dive into exciting STEM topics, allowing students to explore potential college majors and careers.
Programs run from 9 AM-3:30 PM Monday-Friday, with a one-hour break for lunch and unstructured time.
This program is perfect for students interested in Astronomy or Astrobiology, and those looking to explore potential college majors and careers in STEM.
