Make This Summer All About STEM
Through the summer programs offered by Illinois Tech’s Elevate College Prep, middle school and high school students are exposed to STEM-driven programs that cover topics such as coding and programming, robotics, sustainability, science and research, the human sciences, and many more—all at Chicago’s leading tech-focused university.
Not only will middle school and high school students broaden their knowledge and enhance their skills while being exposed to highly relevant, tech-driven topics, but they’ll get a taste of college life and all that an Illinois Tech education offers.
Elevate College Prep offers three types of summer programs:
- Overnight: Students stay on Illinois Tech’s Mies Campus in Chicago’s Bronzeville campus and are fully immersed in the college experience while taking part in hands-on experiences, collaborative projects, and engaging campus activities
- Daytime: Students enjoy the full experience of our summer programs—with the convenience of returning home at the end of each day
- Virtual: Students take part in online programs tailored to their interests no matter where they are in the world
