To grow our Raikes School brand, diversify our applicant pool, and benefit Nebraska’s computer science education, the Raikes School is hosting two summer workshop opportunities for high school students. Recently, these workshops were featured by Forbes Magazine as one of the nation’s top STEM-Focused Summer Programs!
In Innovate: The Raikes School Way and Girls Who Innovate: The Raikes School Way, students will participate in a two-week, project based, on-campus workshop, where they will learn basic programming skills, receive instruction from UNL faculty members, experience what classes can be like in the Raikes School, visit local businesses and research labs, and interact with Raikes School students and staff.
