Proyecto Science is Scheduled to be Fully in Person this Summer 2023

The 6-week summer Proyecto Science program has provided a place for students interested in STEM to develop and strengthen their critical thinking, analytical skills, quantitative literacy, and lifelong learning since 1997. Students in 7th grade are invited to apply to the program and can complete four consecutive summer coursework in STEM. The program is managed by talented NJCU students, NJCU alumni, and Proyecto Science Alumni working as teachers and administrators under the guidance and mentorship of the program director, Dr. Meriem Bendaoud.

We are proud to report that the Proyecto Science program is continuing to offer returning 10th grade students to attend an additional 4th year in the program. Students who completed their Proyecto Science third year (PS3) last year have the opportunity to come back for another year of fun and active learning in STEM! This expansion was made possible by generous donations and continuous support from Bloomberg Philanthropies and Novartis Pharmaceuticals. Thank you!

The program will be running this year in the summer of 2023, from June 26, 2023 to August 8, 2023. We will continue to use the Schoology platform for grading and online assignments. Last year, the program ran successfully with 260 students enrolled. STEM classes were held in the newly renovated Science Building on the main NJCU campus in Jersey City. We were able to offer a fully in-person learning environment where all students participated in their class activities on campus and were able to conduct hands-on assignments and lab dissections in person. We are anticipating that this summer 2023, students will be attending the program on campus at New Jersey City University.
