Taught by UCSD junior and senior undergraduate students over the course of four weeks over Zoom, this program will give students the opportunity to select a subject that they wish to study further. Our goal is to inspire students to think about the future and perhaps be inspired to pursue an area of interest in high school, college and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
