The program uniquely combines rigorous AP Calculus preparation with diverse STEM enrichment tracks and real-world financial literacy, all while fostering critical thinking and teamwork through project-based learning and interactions with university faculty and alumni.
The Northeastern University Bridge to Calculus/Bridge to Science Summer Program is an intensive, seven-week program designed to prepare high school students, specifically rising juniors and seniors from Boston Public Schools, for AP Calculus and future STEM coursework. The curriculum combines rigorous math instruction in pre-calculus and calculus with hands-on, project-based learning. Students strengthen their understanding of complex functions, limits, derivatives, and integrals through daily problem-solving sessions. Beyond core mathematics, the program integrates financial literacy, covering topics like budgeting, investing, and banking, to connect math skills to real-world financial decision-making. Students also engage in STEM enrichment activities, exploring various fields such as biology, chemistry, physics, statistics, and artificial intelligence through interactive labs and projects. Fridays feature workshops, guest speakers, faculty talks, and alumni panels, offering immersive experiences and insights into academic and professional STEM pathways. The program culminates in a closing ceremony where students showcase their projects.
Each weekday runs from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., with mornings dedicated to pre-calculus and calculus, followed by applied math and financial literacy, and STEM enrichment activities.
This program is ideal for rising juniors and seniors in Boston Public Schools who want to strengthen their precalculus and calculus skills, prepare for AP Calculus, and explore various STEM fields through hands-on learning and real-world applications.
