Women's Alliance in STEM and Humanities
WASH Summer Research Institute '25
01
Workshops
WASH hosts several interdisciplinary one-day workshops throughout the school year to expose students to guest speakers, recent scientific developments, growing fields, offer specialized support, and more. Some of our past workshops have included: Standardized Testing for Specialized School and an Intro to Computer Science.
02
Summer Research Institute
The annual SRI selects cohorts of students to be trained by the WASH mentors in specialized areas over the course of six weeks, all culminating in a final capstone research project. This summer, students in the Finance+CS course made their own fintech application, the Quantum cohort explored different applications of quantum technology, and the Microbiology course conducted professional literature reviews.
