Penn offers other summer programs for high school programs. What is unique about the SAAST program?
SAAST is linked directly with the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Penn, with each of the 5 programs modified from actual first and second-year engineering courses. If you are interested in engineering, the practical applications of science, or would like to explore a subfield (e.g. biotechnology) within engineering before applying to college, SAAST may be a great opportunity to do so.
