Summer High School Summer Research
We do not run regular science outreach classes over summer. However, we are excited to direct you to an adjacent program on campus. Our immersive summer program offers high school students hands-on research experiences in STEM fields, focusing on biomedical engineering. Participants will engage in team-based projects, exploring areas such as 3D design, 3D printing, Circuit, Coding, Tissue engineering, and Medical device fabrication. The program aims to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills, preparing students for future STEM pursuits.
NOTE: The cost and syllabus timeline for this summer research program are different than our semester-based classes and are explained in the registration page.
General Information
The Science Outreach Program offers science classes for children in our community during the fall and spring semesters. These classes allow students to learn about the wonders of God’s creation in a laboratory using equipment not readily available elsewhere.
These classes are experiential, hands-on, and lab-based. Each class is held once a week and is completed within one semester. Class size is limited, and topics vary each session and semester. Please contact the Science Outreach Program with questions about the classes.
The classes are taught by George Fox undergraduate students majoring in science and education. Each class is team-taught with two instructors, giving each student more one-on-one assistance.
All student teachers receive lesson planning, delivery, and classroom management training and work closely with the Science Outreach Program director to create and deliver their courses.
The subsidized class fee helps to cover the cost of instructor payroll, class supplies, and field trip expenses, if applicable. Fees may vary from class to class depending on lab and/or field trip expenses.
George Fox University makes every effort to keep the cost of these classes as low as possible while maintaining the highest possible quality of instruction. Please contact the Science Outreach Program via email (scienceoutreach@georgefox.edu) to inquire about need-based scholarships.
Please use the link at the top of the page to register for Youth Science Classes. Registration for Science Outreach classes is no longer done by mail or in person at George Fox University.
We maintain an email contact list to distribute updated information about youth science classes. If you would like to be on our email list to get advance notice of when registration will open, please email the Science Outreach Program at scienceoutreach@georgefox.edu.
