PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Program for Research and Investigation in Science and Math (PRISM) provides 3 weeks of enjoyable summer academics and activities at the Harvard Medical School for rising 9th grade students. The program is designed to ease the transition from middle to high school and to help students build a solid foundation in their math and science skills. PRISM promotes critical, analytical, and independent thinking skills through classroom, laboratory, computer and field trip activities. PRISM also promotes overall literacy skills through case-based learning. Students learn basic scientific and mathematical principles in the context of medical physiology and disease processes. They also learn how math and science together explain natural phenomena.
