Summer Schedule Overview

Duration: 8 weeks, from July 1 to August 31

Weekly Sessions: Classes are held two times a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Daily Breakdown:

- - Learning Session (90 Minutes): Each class begins with a focused 90 minutes on a new topic or concept within the STEM fields, leveraging expert instruction and interactive teaching methods.
  - Group Discussion (30 Minutes): After each learning session, students participate in a group discussion designed to enhance their comprehension and application of the day's topic. These discussions focus on effective study strategies post-class, methods for self-preparation, and the utilization of available resources for deeper understanding. Additionally, students will learn how to approach questions related to the topic, emphasizing the importance of time management and discipline in their academic pursuits.
  - Doubt Session (30 Minutes): Following the group discussion, a dedicated Doubt Session provides an opportunity for students to seek clarification and assistance with any challenges they encountered in the worksheets and quizzes from the previous sessions. This session is crucial for reinforcing understanding and ensuring students feel confident about the material covered.

Guest Meetings:

- Weekly Professional Interaction: Every Weekend, students will have the opportunity to meet with professionals from various STEM fields. These sessions are designed to provide insights into university life and career paths in science and technology. Guests will share their experiences and offer advice for academic and professional success.

Interactive Calendar:

- An embedded interactive calendar that highlights class days, guest speaker sessions, and important dates for students and parents to easily keep track of the program schedule.
