The
Michigan Technological University
Summer Youth Program (SYP) will
introduce you to careers and allow
you to develop new skills through
laboratory, classroom, and field
experiences. The program includes
more than seventy one-week
explorations, scheduled over
multiple weeks.
An exploration is an intensive
week-long look at a particular field
or area of interest and is offered
in seven different categories
designed to introduce you to a world
of opportunities. Explorations allow
you to learn to use a computer,
rappel, or perform diagnostic
chemical tests. In other
explorations you could paint a
landscape, backpack through a scenic
wilderness area, or cast molten
metal. Each exploration is lead by a
Michigan Tech faculty member,
graduate student, or other
specialist in that particular field.
You will spend approximately thirty
hours investigating your area of
interest through classroom
activities, hands-on laboratory
exercises, field trips, and
discussions with your instructors
and other students. The SYP
curriculum offers over seventy
sections of explorations, with the
total enrollment limited to about
1,200 students.
