Are there virtual or online options available for students who can’t attend summer programs in person?

Yes! If you’re worried that you’re missing out on these amazing opportunities, there are some summer programs that offer virtual options. However, availability can depend on certain factors and changes, such as current trends in education. The Wharton Global Youth Program, for example, provides interactive online courses that allow students to explore business fundamentals remotely. On the other hand, programs like Yale Young Global Scholars (YYGS) and Harvard Pre-College Program currently only offer in-person sessions. Additionally, Stanford University Mathematics Camp (SUMaC) does not list an online option. Some STEM-focused initiatives, such as MIT’s MOSTEC (MIT Online Science, Technology, and Engineering Community), are designed entirely for virtual participation, offering mentorship and research opportunities. Students should check each program’s official website for the latest updates on online learning opportunities.
