Young Scholars Discovery

Discover, Explore, Grow!

From July 15-27, 2012, the Young Scholars Discovery program welcomes middle school students to an extraordinary learning opportunity at the University of Maryland. For two challenging weeks, Discovery nurtures academically talented students who share similar interests, abilities, and goals. Discovery scholars explore career opportunities, engage with experts in innovative fields, collaborate during interactive seminars, and learn about university life at Maryland.

Discovery offers diverse courses that encourage creative reasoning and problem solving. Faculty provide dynamic instruction, challenging students to explore bold ideas and acquire new skills and knowledge. Field trips and guest speakers highlight real-world experiences, introducing students to possible career paths.

The learning continues beyond the classroom with interactive afternoon seminars and fun social activities. Seminars offer experiences that focus on conflict resolution and cross-cultural collaboration. Social events include weekend day trips to Washington, DC, barbecues, pool parties, laser tag, and more. Discovery scholars reside on campus or commute form home.
