Summer Research & Innovation Showcase 2020
The North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics is proud to present the final projects of our 2020 Summer Research & Innovation Program. This year’s Showcase reflects a community of students, mentors, instructors, and more who have risen to the challenge of virtual research from across North Carolina and beyond. We hope you will enjoy exploring our students’ summer research adventures!
243 students participated in NCSSMs Summer Research & Innovation Program (SRIP) this summer, working virtually from across the entire state of North Carolina. SRIP serves students from both NCSSM's Durham and Online campuses, as well as one student from our sister school, the Louisiana School for Math, Science, and The Arts.
