The Berkeley Changemaker® track offers international and domestic high school students the opportunity to live on campus and enjoy the summer at Berkeley. Since its inception, UC Berkeley has always attracted changemakers whose vision challenges the status quo and whose contributions make our world a better, more equitable place. Our Pre-College Scholars Berkeley Changemaker track draws from, and builds on, elements that make Cal unique, including a singular history for leading inclusively and an agency for making society better. Our curriculum activates our students’ passions and helps them to develop a sharper sense of who they want to be and how to make that happen. Regardless of whether your interests lie in entrepreneurship, societal change, or you’d simply like to think more entrepreneurially, there is a place for you here in our learning community.

By taking advantage of the Berkeley Changemaker track, you will sharpen your skills in three key areas—critical thinking, communication, and collaboration—while exploring what changemaking looks like in a wide variety of disciplines across campus. You will also become part of the campuswide Berkeley Changemaker, which has already enrolled some 20% of Berkeley’s undergraduates since its launch in summer 2022. Through daily lectures, compelling faculty interviews, and interactive team assignments with your fellow changemakers, you will develop your own changemaking mindset and learn how to turn your ideas into action, experiencing first hand all that UC Berkeley has to offer.

Your summer residential experience begins with orientation sessions, a campus scavenger hunt, and opportunities to meet with program staff and other participants. Activities and excursions are planned by UC Berkeley undergraduate Resident Assistants and Mentors (RAMs) and the program staff to help you build community with other students in your program, make the most out of your time at Berkeley, and prepare for your future college experience.

Testimonials

"SELF was the most rewarding high school program ever I attended, and now as a University of Maryland student, it continues to offer me countless opportunities. Beyond helping me select my business major, SELF provided me with skills such as public speaking, teamwork, and design thinking, which are applicable in any field of study. The value of SELF doesn't end after the summer is over; my closest friends on campus are other SELF alumni, and as an executive board member of the SELF-based club on campus, Snider Leadership Development Club, I get to continue my personal growth while making an impact on campus. I cannot imagine my life without SELF, it helped me discover my passion for business, redefined what I thought I was capable of, and inspired me to come to the University of Maryland!" - Sarah Lodder, SELF Cohort 1, UMD Class of 2020, Marketing and Information Systems double major

"The SELF program was very eye-opening for me. I learned many important business concepts such as how to construct a business model canvas and how to deliver the perfect speech. SELF allowed me to experience what it is like to be a part of the Smith School prior to college and left me in awe. I was inspired by the brilliant, enthusiastic, and kind faculty. They not only gave me key insight into what major I would intend to pursue but also taught me how to be the best version of myself. I can confidently say that attending this program has been one of the best decisions I have made. I am so lucky to have had this opportunity and am grateful every day for being a part of the third cohort of the Snider Enterprise and Leadership Fellows." - Jake Maggid, SELF Cohort 3, UMD Class of 2022, Marking and Finance major
"Before SELF I hadn't really been exposed to the world of business. Through the program, I quickly learned that succeeding in business is as much about knowing your discipline as it is about knowing yourself. After my fellow SELF students and I embodied this idea, we all quickly jumped into the case were given and found balanced roles within our respective teams. This program stirred a passion for entrepreneurship in me that is now in full force in my Sophomore year of college right now. I can't wait to see the next class of young business leaders." - Kavon Badie, SELF Cohort 1, UMD Class of 2020, Finance & Operations Management and Business Analytics double major
"The SELF program was one of the most challenging yet most rewarding programs I've ever participated in. My favorite part about SELF was being able to experience what college life is like for a UMD student. From sleeping in dorms to eating in the dining hall, I got a good feel for what it would be like to be a Terp and I learned that the large size of the university was not as intimidating as I had thought. I also really enjoyed meeting so many new and amazing people and sharing this experience with them." - Gabriela Winter, SELF Cohort 3, UMD Class of 2022, Supply Chain Management and Marketing major

Careers in Science interns get paid to learn, teach, and do science in and around the California Academy of Sciences. Interns enter the program in June as rising sophomores or juniors and continue through high school graduation. By demonstrating achievement and reliability, interns may level up to positions of increased leadership and responsibility.

On Saturdays during the school year and weekdays in the summer, all interns conduct fieldwork outdoors and facilitate learning experiences for Academy visitors on the public floor. Interns also attend interactive trainings twice a month to develop science communication skills, learn about careers from practicing STEM professionals, and receive guidance on topics like financial literacy and the college application process. In addition, interns attend college tours, present at STEM conferences and festivals, and help inform the design of Academy exhibits and educational materials.

As interns advance through the program, they'll participate in project groups, in which small groups of students work on a science research or environmental action project led by an Academy researcher or partner. Interns will also serve on the CiS Leadership Council and are eligible for individualized mentorships with Academy experts.

Through these experiences and more, CiS helps interns develop the confidence and skills needed to think critically, tackle complex problems, succeed in the workforce, and serve as informed decision-makers in their communities.

Questions? Contact us at gesummer@lehigh.edu.

The application for the 2024 program is now open!

How to Apply

Click on the "Apply Now" button above to complete a brief survey that will confirm your eligibility to attend the IGEI program, let you choose the application deadline that is best for you and your family, and submit the names and contact information of three teachers who have agreed to write letters of recommendation. Consider the application cycle options described below:

1. The Sponsored Admission Deadline is January 15, 2024. Applicants should choose this application cycle if they want to take advantage of special Early Bird pricing or if they wish to apply for need-based financial assistance from the Iacocca Institute. Our financial resources are limited and we cannot guarantee to meet the demonstrated need of all accepted participants. Early Bird pricing is available to all applicants who submit by January 15, regardless of their family's financial status.

2. The Priority and International Admission Deadline is February 12, 2024. More spaces remain available at this point in the application cycle, meaning there is less competition for admission. We strongly suggest that international applicants choose the February admissions cycle due to the extra time needed for visas and flight arrangements.

3. The Regular Admission Deadline is March 11, 2024. Applicants submitting through this application cycle have more time to prepare their applications, but are competing for the few remaining spaces available after the first two cycles. Once all available spaces are filled with qualified applicants, additional admitted applicants will be placed on a waitlist and notified if a space opens.

Once your eligibility is verified, applicants will receive an email with a link to the IGEI admissions application. Each eligible applicant receives a unique link, so make sure to save both the email and the link! The admissions application includes basic questions about the applicant, their family, and their school, and requires applicants to upload a resume of extracurricular activities and a 1-2 page statement of interest, detailing why the applicant wants to attend the IGEI program, what they hope to gain from their participation, and what they expect to contribute as a participant. All materials must be submitted by the application cycle deadline chosen in the preliminary survey. If an application is received after the deadline, it will automatically be included for review in the next cycle. Applications received after March 11, 2024 will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis should space become available in the program.

Program Eligibility

Academically talented U.S. and international high school students who are current sophomores or juniors at the time of the application deadline may apply. Participants may not be younger than 15 or older than 17 at any point during the program dates of June 23 - July 20, 2024.

Applicants must demonstrate academic achievement, an interest in entrepreneurship, and a record of leadership and service activities. A selection committee of Lehigh University faculty and staff and business leaders reviews applications for academic achievement and commitment, leadership initiative, ability to contribute to a living/learning community, and excellent written expression.

CAMPUS LIFE

IGEI participants stay in Lehigh University housing under the supervision of program guides and a residence life coordinator. Rooms are double occupancy, with shared bathrooms on single-sex floors, in co-ed dorms. Self-serve laundry facilities are available for participant use.

Participants will enjoy food from campus dining services, area restaurants, and dorm kitchens. Dietary restrictions (medical and religious) and preferences (where possible) will be accommodated.

Pre-college exposure, including admissions information, financial aid guidance, and college major/career exploration, is included in the IGEI curriculum.

For questions about the program, please contact dmainfo@arts.ucla.edu

Design Media Arts Summer Institute Program

During the two-week program, students explore a variety of media examining different practices and design methods applied to the domains of print, net, worlds, and video. Broadly addressing a common theme, all four classes contribute to the creation of an integrated, multi-media exhibition at the end of the residency. Each class is taught by an instructor and program assistant; class size is limited to a maximum of 20 students.

All four classes below will relate to and influence each other, and they will contribute to the creation of an integrated, final, multi-media project.
Print
Students explore graphic design as image-making coupled with basic typography through a series of fun and fast-paced assignments and exercises. All projects encapsulate a yearly theme while addressing form, composition, hierarchy, and creativity. Students develop a design process and critical visual vocabulary through experimentation and group critiques.
NET
This course focuses on the internet as a medium for creative expression and artistic intervention. Through examples and small exercises based on a given theme, students study the web in the tradition of art and activism. Using techniques like collage, appropriation, and strategies of artistic self-expression, students analyze these forms for their aesthetic and social potentials. References to relevant artworks are provided, both in and outside the field of Net-based art.
WORLD
Electronic games offer an exciting mode of interactive storytelling. Virtual spaces and intangible systems can strike complex moods. In this course, students learn the basics of how games are developed and explore "Worldbuilding" as a form of visual narrative, playfulness, and immersive participatory experience. Students use Unity4D game engine to build and dismantle 3-Dimensional games.
VIDEO
Video is a powerful medium capable of capturing, parsing, and imagining environments and stories. In this course, students learn the exciting properties of time-based media and ways to enable their creative potential. Exploring the technical and experimental approaches to cinematography, animation, and sound, students gain a basic understanding of video-making and the strategies to create unique perceptual events.

California State Summer School for Mathematics & Science ( COSMOS) is an intensive four-week summer residential program for students who have demonstrated an aptitude for academic and professional careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects. Talented and motivated students completing grades 8-12 have the opportunity to work with renowned faculty, researchers, and scientists in state-of-the-art facilities while exploring advanced STEM topics far beyond the courses usually offered in California high schools. Through challenging curricula that are both hands-on and lab intensive, COSMOS fosters its students' interests, skills, and awareness of educational and career options in STEM fields.

Students apply to one of the four University of California's COSMOS campuses - UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC San Diego, and UC Santa Cruz. While each campus employs the best practices in STEM education, the curriculum of each program builds on the unique teaching and research expertise of its faculty and host campus. Each campus can only accommodate about 160-200 participants, so the selection is competitive. A typical COSMOS student has a GPA of 3.5 or above. Students must have achieved academic excellence.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The mission of COSMOS is to motivate the most creative minds of the new generation of prospective scientists, engineers and mathematicians who will become leaders for California, the nation, and the world. The program aims to create a community of students who participate in and contribute to an intensive academic experience delivered by distinguished educators and scholars.

Program Schedule

The Summer PreCollege program at Pratt is a full-time academically rigorous program. Attendance is required for all class sessions.

Summer PreCollege students each take two intensive studio courses, offered in a variety of disciplines. These hands-on classes provide exploration of the diversity of majors available at Pratt. Most classes are taught by Pratt faculty using state-of-the-art equipment, studio spaces, and classrooms across campus. Courses provide an introduction to Pratt's undergraduate curriculum and equip students with elective college credits which are typically accepted at most colleges and universities. The program culminates into a Final Exhibition where students showcase their work to friends, family, and the Pratt community.

Residential students' immersion experience on Pratt's beautiful Brooklyn campus includes supplementary academic and/or cultural activities, such as after-class studio hours guided by Pratt degree students serving as Studio Mentors for completing class assignments; museum trips accompanied by Pratt degree students serving as Cultural Mentors; and portfolio development sessions led by Pratt Admissions Counselors for college application. Students can also book one-on-one portfolio reviews with Pratt admissions counselors during their time on campus. Upon completion of the PreCollege Program, students will have developed portfolio pieces toward their college application to the art, design/architecture college of their choice.

Participation in most weekend and evening activities along with a nightly curfew are mandatory for residential students. During class breaks and scheduled flex times students can enjoy the beauty of Pratt's campus and explore New York City while following safety and wellness protocols.

Commuter students may attend studio hours sessions or anticipate spending an equal amount of time completing homework at home. Some assignments require special tools that cannot be accessed outside of the scheduled studio times on the evening and weekends and cannot be completed at home.
