Special Opportunities

Free Duke Math Program

Duke Mathematics' annual Summer Workshop in Math (SWiM2023) is a free in-person workshop for high school students who are interested in mathematics, from June 10 to June 17 at Duke University. All students currently in their junior year of high school who are citizens of and reside in the US are eligible. Female and female-identifying students are encouraged to apply. All travel, housing and activities are fully funded by Duke. More information and how to apply is here: https://sites.duke.edu/swim/. Applications are due by March 1st. Any questions, please email us at [email protected].

LEEP Internship

The Lazarus Energy Empowerment Program (LEEP) is now accepting application from current sophomores and juniors.

The goal of the program is to expose and equip well deserving high school juniors and seniors with the skills that they will need to achieve their goals and realize their full potential. After completing the program, young people feel more empowered, confident, and prepared for college and the workforce.

Applicants need to be able to work on Saturdays from 9am until 3pm (6 hours) during the summer and the school year and complete 4 hours of tasks during the week. Since this can conflict with other activities, applicants will have to consider their other commitments. Applicants must be willing to invest time into starting the program on Saturday, June 3, 2023 and completing the program on Saturday, May 18, 2024.

The application is open and available at this link. The deadline is April 3, 2023 at 5:00 PM. A resume and cover letter must also be emailed to [email protected]. Virtual interviews will occur once after applications are submitted. Applicants will be notified by May 8th of their status.

Discover U Highlighted Opportunities

Discover U

Through personalized mentoring and the provision of systemic supports, DiscoverU helps youth successfully apply and gain admission to and complete high-quality, out-of-school learning experiences that empower them with the skills, confidence, and mindsets to advocate for their own success.

DiscoverU provides a database of Fantastic Learning Opportunities for students to apply to. Some programs are free and others have a cost. Students who qualify for free and reduced lunch can also earn scholarship towards programs with a cost. There are programs that are virtual and in-person. Some are local and some are in other countries. There are so many opportunities!

Most Energy students already have their DiscoverU accounts set-up. Freshmen will set them up next week during PBL Skills classes. If a returning student does not remember their password, they can use the "forgot my password" feature to have it reset. The website is www.discoverus.org.

Discover U reps will be at Energy on pre-scheduled days to help students during PBL Skills classes and during enrichment. Students can also schedule a virtual meeting through the portal or at https://calendly.com/discoveru-advisors.

Below are some highlighted programs available. Students should log-in to their Discover U account to see more opportunties.
