Lincoln Foundation's summer Math & Science Program provides an educational enrichment experience for high school students in mathematics and science with technology integration. An interdisciplinary, hands-on, inquiry-based, rigorous curriculum engages students in laboratory and field-based learning that help them apply mathematics and science as they study the global issues of biodiversity, water quality, and energy in their community. The curriculum also prepares students for their next mathematics and science courses in school and for college readiness with a focus on research skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, project design and presenting sustainable solutions. Each student will develop an independent science research proposal. A one-time registration fee of $75 must accompany the completed application for students who are not Whitney M. Young Scholars. Fee waivers are available for students who qualify.
