We have received multiple emails from parents asking about dropping off gifts for teachers. Unfortunately, we are asking parents to please refrain from doing so this year. With the increase in COVID cases, I am doing my best to keep our staff as safe as possible. I hope you understand that this was a difficult choice. You can send e-cards and e-gift cards instead if you wish. I have attached the staff directory with the email addresses of our staff. Thank you for your understanding on this matter.

The program was started last summer by educators, students, and graduates from Stanford, Harvard, and MIT. Last year, SSI received over 2,450 applications from students in 78 different countries. Many students who attended the program said SSI changed their lives and asked for the team to continue running SSI in future years. Applications for SSI 2021 have just opened, and we thought your students may be interested in applying. The program consists of three main parts: Research and data science bootcamp: Students learn how to design and conduct data science research projects. Students learn about the research process and how to apply statistical and machine learning methods to address scientific questions with real-world impact. Masterclass lecture series: Students are connected to accomplished young adults around the world. Students have the opportunity to learn about entrepreneurship from Forbes 30 Under 30 recipients, science research from International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) grand prize winners, and other topics from speakers with diverse backgrounds and experiences. Mentored research project: Students complete a research project through a rigorous, hands-on learning experience under the guidance of mentors.
