For five days in mid-July 2023, high school students from around the world participated in the Center for Neurotechnology (CNT) Young Scholars Program-REACH (YSP-REACH). YSP-REACH was created to promote interest and increase knowledge about neuroscience and neural engineering in high school students.
This year 19 students attended the program in-person at the CNT on the University of Washington Seattle campus and 90 students attended morning sessions of the program online via Zoom. Although most students in YSP-REACH were from schools in the Puget Sound area, some students traveled to the UW campus from Canada, Oregon, Florida and North Carolina and others connected to the program online from Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Utah, New York, Virginia, California, Idaho, Texas, Turkey, Korea, China, and Brazil.
