Discover Your STEM Passion at Proyecto Science

Since 1997, the award-winning Proyecto Science summer enrichment program at New Jersey City University has unlocked students’ curiosity and strengthened their skills across science, technology, engineering and math. Directed by STEM educator Dr. Samantha Kozar, and housed within the Office of Graduate Studies, Adult and Continuing Education led by Dr. Wanda Rutledge, this intensive 6-week program welcomes high-achieving 7th graders through 10th graders for an immersive on-campus experience.

Through hands-on lab work, innovative projects and college-level coursework, students grow their capabilities in biology, chemistry, physics, algebra, calculus, computer science and more while forming friendships that can last a lifetime. Generous support from partners like Jersey City Board of Education, Bloomberg Philanthropies and Novartis Pharmaceuticals helps make this enrichment opportunity possible.

Passionate NJCU students and alumni work closely with participants as teachers and mentors. The program culminates in a Capstone presentation where students showcase their academic growth and newly expanded visions for college and future careers.  

The 2024 Proyecto Science session runs June 25 through August 5. Apply today and discover your inner scientist this summer!
