SAGE offers a unique opportunity for high school students to gain free, direct exposure to real-world STEM research and careers at a national laboratory, fostering innovation and community among aspiring scientists and engineers.
The Lawrence Livermore SAGE (Science Accelerating Growth and Engagement) Summer Camp is a free, one-week day camp for Northern California public high school students aged 14-17. The program aims to broaden participation in STEM fields by connecting students with professionals at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Campers engage in a variety of hands-on activities, including scientific projects and engineering challenges, to gain a deeper understanding of research and technology at LLNL. They also participate in job shadowing experiences, observing the daily routines of STEM professionals and touring their workplaces. The camp features career talks from LLNL scientists and engineers, who share their career journeys and insights into diverse STEM pathways. Additionally, students develop professional skills, such as communication and leadership, through small-group discussions and workshops. The camp fosters a sense of community and innovation, providing students with an inside look at cutting-edge experiments and topics not typically covered in high school classrooms, and empowering them to explore future STEM career possibilities.
A typical day includes presentations by LLNL scientists and engineers, job shadowing and workplace tours, hands-on engineering and science projects, and small-group discussions on professional skills, STEM pathways, and networking.
This camp is ideal for curious and passionate high school students (ages 14-17) from Northern California public high schools who are interested in STEM opportunities, even if they haven't yet decided on a STEM major.
