What is the Harvard Science & Innovation Challenge?

An Immersive Three-Day Innovation Adventure

Harvard Science & Innovation Challenge is a three-day conference for high school students that explores science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). It combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills, focusing on innovation and the ethical aspects of scientific progress through workshops and keynote sessions.

Hands-On Learning for Real-World Impact: 

This program is all about taking action, not just learning theory. Students collaborate in teams to tackle real-world problems, much like a science fair. They research, design, and present projects that address environmental and social issues, demonstrating their process from initial idea to final solution to a panel of judges.

Modules

Module 1

Introduction to Science and Engineering

Begin with an overview of the significance of science and engineering. Review key trends and research shaping the future of STEM fields, and gain practical insights into how these developments impact real-world applications and drive innovation.

Module 2

Interactive Activities

Engage in icebreaker activities, such as speed networking and a science quiz, to build connections and assess your knowledge. Participate in a team-building challenge using an engineering mystery box, where teams create innovative solutions with materials like popsicle sticks and balloons, fostering collaboration and creativity.

Module 3

Understanding Scientific and Engineering Principles

Delve into the scientific method and engineering design process through mentor-led sessions. Learn how to formulate hypotheses, design experiments, and apply these principles to real-world scenarios, enhancing your foundational understanding of STEM principles.

Module 4

Innovations and Ethical Considerations

Discover recent innovations in mechanical, aerospace, biomedical, and environmental engineering from industry experts. Participate in discussions on the ethical implications of scientific advancements, guided by experienced mentors, to understand the broader impact of STEM solutions.

Module 5

Innovation Challenge and Conclusion

Students will dive into the Science & Engineering Innovation Challenge, working in teams to develop and present solutions to real-world problems. For example, designing a scaled model of an aircraft optimized for fuel efficiency or creating a blueprint for an autonomous electric transport system. The module concludes with a virtual science fair, where teams showcase their projects, receive feedback, and celebrate their innovative achievements.
