With the growing uncertainty of the future of COVID-19, many, if not most, summer programs, camps, and internships have been canceled in hopes to slow the spread of the virus and to keep young people safe. Institutions of higher education have either canceled their summer programs or moved them online. Crimson Education believes that summers are just as important for student development as is the school year, that’s why we’ve compiled a list of prestigious summer programs that have moved online and are still accepting applications!
Code Connects - 1:1 Online Coding Education
Code Connects programs are designed to ensure coding education is accessible and empowering for all types of students. They offer year-round program options to match students’ unique needs: one-on-one lessons, small groups, and virtual summer camps. All programs take place online. In addition to their programs, Code Connects offers a Speakers Series for both students and parents.
Looking to spend your summer gaining valuable, hands-on work experience? Crimson Education offers a guaranteed internship placement for students with an interest in finance, business, tech, and more! Students must be between the ages of 16-19 and have a history of academic excellence.
Crimson Research Institute (CRI) offers qualified students the opportunity to complete an in-depth, independent research paper or project with guidance from PhDs and top university faculty. Our Research Mentors – professors, lecturers, and Ph.D. students with years of research experience – will help students not only to complete their own small, independent research project in a specific discipline, but also to source potential publishers, obtain patents or copyrights if applicable, and more.
