The American Museum for Natural History offers more than 40 free after-school courses for high school students. Topics range from space exploration to the microscopic world of DNA and include classes in biodiversity, earth science, anthropology, genetics, and astronomy. Each course lasts for a five-week session and classes, which are held once or twice a week, usually include a field trip. The museum also offers scholarships and other programs for New York City students.
The Columbia University Science Honors Program (SHP) is a highly selective program for high school students with exceptional talent in math and science. Acceptance is based upon recommendations, grades, and a three-hour examination. Students attend Saturday morning classes at Columbia throughout the academic year. Instructors are math and science researchers at the university.

Cooper Union Research Internship allows high school sophomores and juniors to work in teams on applied research projects guided by Cooper Union undergraduate teaching assistants and mentored by faculty. The program covers civil, chemical, electrical, mechanical, biomedical, and environmental engineering and mathematics, chemistry, physics, and astronomy. There are lectures, discussions and a series of workshops on oral presentations, technical writing, career choices, and college admissions. Each group presents its work to an invited audience. Sophomores may also elect to participate in a second internship at the end of their junior year.
ExploraVision encourages kids to create and explore a vision of future technology. Students work in small groups simulating research and development teams, along with a team coach and an optional mentor. Students compete in regional competitions and the top 24 teams go to a national competition. Prizes include up to $10,000 in savings bonds.

Health Professions Recruitment and Exposure Program (HPREP) at Weill Cornell Medical College exposes high school sophomores and juniors to science-related activities. HPREP also teaches students about specific career fields and the steps needed to become a physician or other health care provider. The ten-week program for 10th and 11th grade high school students features lectures by physicians, health care professionals, and medical students from minority groups and small group workshops. Participants are also required to submit a short research paper on a pre-approved subject at the conclusion of the program.
The High School Student Internship Program at Cornell Universityimmerses rising high school juniors and seniors in the new field of nanobiotechnology through a four-week summer experience on the Cornell campus in upstate New York. Students actively participate in designing and fabricating devices through teamwork with other high school students and college students. Accepted students will receive room, board and travel expenses up to $500.

Math and Science for Minority Students (MS)2 is a summer program in Andover, MA at the Phillips Academy preparatory school. Open to black, Latino and Native American students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, the (MS)2 program spans three consecutive summers. Students apply in 9th grade and begin the program the following summer. The program helps put students on track for possible careers in engineering, science, medicine, computer technology and other technical fields.MITES (Minority Introduction to Engineering, Entrepreneurship, and Science) is a rigorous six-week residential, academic enrichment summer program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for promising high school juniors. This program stresses the value of pursuing advanced technical degrees and careers. Members of all races and ethnicities are considered but priority is given to students who must overcome significant odds to pursue their dream of becoming an engineer or scientist.
NASA PREP, a six-week program held at Capitol College in Maryland, is designed to strengthen the academic, study, and interpersonal skills of minority students interested in astronautical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering or software engineering. The program includes field trips to the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and cultural trips to Baltimore and Washington, DC. Admission is limited to eight high school juniors and seniors, with preference to graduating seniors. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, have completed two years of algebra, one year of trigonometry and three years of a laboratory science, have a cumulative GPA of 2.8 and at least a 500 in the math section of the SAT. Students who complete the program may qualify for a scholarship to Capitol College.New York Hall of Science in Queens offers free admission September through June on Fridays from 2-5 pm and Sundays from 10-11 am.
The New York City Science and Engineering Fair (NYCSEF) is the city's largest high school research competition. Each year, more than 1,000 high school students from New York City present their research projects to a panel of judges and compete for a variety of prizes. The NYCSEF is an Intel International Science and Engineering Fair-affiliated regional fair.
Science and Technology Entry Program (STEP) is a Saturday Discovery program that helps 9th to 12th graders in math, science, and technology. Students explore math, science and technology careers; visit college campuses; and prepare and present reports of scientific explorations. Many colleges and universities throughout the city and state host a STEP program, often with their own particular area of focus, and students apply separately to each program. STEP is funded by the New York State Department of Education, and parents are expected to attend at least four meetings during the year and are welcome to attend trips. The program begins in October and ends in May.
