Project SMART is a Summer Institute at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) that challenges, educates, and motivates talented high school students in science and mathematics while acquainting them with the environment and resources of the University as a place for higher education and research. The program is open, on a competitive basis, to selected students from New Hampshire and neighboring towns in other states. The students must be currently enrolled in the 10th or 11th grade. They study advanced topics in science, mathematics and computers through lectures, demonstrations, hands-on laboratory experience, and field trips, and learn the process of research with UNH faculty and graduate students. The Summer Institute provides an excellent opportunity to learn the interdisciplinary nature of the various science areas and the integration of math and computers with the scientific research.
