SAGE Camp offers a unique opportunity for high school students to gain an inside look at a Department of Energy National Laboratory, connect with diverse STEM professionals, and become part of a supportive community that extends beyond the camp itself.
SAGE Camp at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is a free, one-week residential program designed for high school students to explore STEM careers. Participants engage in hands-on projects, such as building mini accelerators, laser projects, Arduino projects, and constructing their own motors. The camp offers job shadowing opportunities with scientists and engineers, facility tours, and career talks, providing insights into diverse STEM professions. Students develop observation, interpretation, and analytical skills while connecting with STEM professionals and peers. The program aims to foster creativity, innovation, and a growth mindset, encouraging students to pursue further learning in STEM and offering a pathway to internships and leadership opportunities within the SAGE community.
A typical day involves hands-on scientific projects, facility tours, career talks, and job shadowing with scientists and engineers at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
The camp is best for curious and passionate high school students in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade from Northern California who are interested in exploring STEM careers and making a difference in their community.
