NUSSP provides a unique opportunity for middle schoolers to experience college life and engage in hands-on STEM activities with university faculty and students, focusing on real-world challenges.
The Northeastern University Summer STEM Program (NUSSP) is a two-week academic day program designed for middle schoolers entering 6th, 7th, or 8th grades. The program aims to enhance students' mathematics and science skills, introduce them to college life, and stimulate their interest in science and engineering careers. Activities include problem-solving, study, research, writing, and communication skills, integrated with biology, chemistry, physics, and design concepts. Students also participate in hands-on activities following each lesson to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. The program incorporates field excursions to expose students to real-world STEM applications and offers opportunities to interact with engineers, scientists, researchers, and other professionals. The curriculum often focuses on themes like designing a more resilient city, where students learn about natural disasters and urban redevelopment strategies.
Each day, students engage in problem-solving, study, research, writing, and communication skill-building activities, incorporating biology, chemistry, physics, and design concepts, followed by hands-on applications and field excursions.
The program is ideal for Massachusetts residents entering 6th-8th grades who live within a 30-mile radius of Northeastern University and are interested in STEM, particularly those from historically underserved and underrepresented backgrounds.
