Serious fun. Serious gaming.

This weekend is devoted entirely to the fun of games. Although there is some learning that takes place as you discover tricks to modding your characters, or how to tweak your settings while you overclock your machine, this weekend is about getting your game on! And on, and on!

Your Games...Your Play.

You guide the games you play at Weekend Gamerz. Want something a little less wired? No problem, we’ll have plenty of board and card games available for un-plugged entertainment.

The Michigan Technological University Summer Youth Program will introduce you to careers and allow you to develop new skills through laboratory, classroom, and field experiences. The program includes more than seventy one-week explorations, scheduled over multiple weeks. You may attend only one exploration per week, but can register for multiple weeks. Last summer, almost 900 students attended SYP from all over the United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Columbia, Monaco and Spain.

We offer 4 different types of programs:
* Summer Camps: Explorations for current 6th - 8th graders
* Career and Adventure Explorations: current 9th - 11th graders
* Competitive Scholarship Programs: current 9th - 11th graders
* Courses for College Credit: current 10th - 11th graders

An exploration is an intensive week-long look at a particular field or area of interest and is offered in six different categories designed to introduce you to a world of opportunities. Explorations allow you to learn to use a computer, rappel, or perform diagnostic chemical tests. In other explorations you could fly a plan, backpack through a scenic wilderness area, or cast molten metal. Each exploration is led by a Michigan Tech faculty member, graduate student, or other specialist in that particular field. You will spend approximately thirty-two hours investigating your area of interest through classroom activities, hands-on laboratory exercises, field trips, and discussions with your instructors and other students.

Enrollment is open until each class reaches seating capacity. Classes are limited to 20 students or less.

The mission of the Summer Institute for the Gifted (SIG) is to provide the highest quality educational and social opportunities for academically gifted and talented students through programs designed to meet their abilities and needs.

SIG at University of Michigan, provides academically advantanced students in grades 4-11 with an exciting and challenging educational experience.

The program combines remarkable academic courses with cultural, social, and recreational opportunities. The academic program is central to the design and purpose of SIG. Our programs provide students with academic challenges designed to fit their abilities and interests. It also provides them with the opportunity to engage with other students who have similar abilities and interests. Because of our small classes, low teacher-student ratio, and the presence of an assistant in every class, we are able to individualize the program for each and every student.

The richness of a broad range of geographical, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, the stimulation created by talented and intellectually engaged students working and playing together, the depth and diversity of the SIG faculty and staff, and the beautiful and well-equipped college campus environments create a perfect atmosphere for learning, growing and accomplishing meaningful goals.

Campers in grades 1-6 can explore science in a fun, interactive way. Our quality hands-on experiments, innovative curriculum and professional instructors bring your child’s understanding of science to the next level. Campers will compete in extreme sports challenges; build a detective kit and use cutting edge forensics science; thrill to building racers, planes and a gigantic roller coaster and launch the High Flyer rocket into the stratosphere. Each topic runs for five days. Full-day and half-day options available. Multi-topic discount if two or more Camps are purchased together. Visit the Science Adventures website or call 1.888.458.1812 to enroll!

Our University of Michigan programs offer students a chance to experience college life and explore the campus of one of the top universities in the country. The primary focus is to teach each student which skills and knowledge are important for success on the ACT and SAT exams. Students learn which factors to consider when deciding on schools and majors. Cultural opportunities include trips to various museums and planetariums, as well as movie outings. In addition, students can take advantage of some of the finest sports facilities anywhere. Since the students are housed together in university dorms, they will have the opportunity to share ideas, and to study and interact with their peers.
