Putney’s STEM-focused summer travel programs give high school students the chance to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through hands-on learning and real-world experiences. Explore the future of transportation in Germany and Sweden, investigate emerging scientific fields in Switzerland, or dive into marine science and conservation in Costa Rica. From university campuses and research institutions to some of the world’s most remarkable outdoor environments, these programs encourage students to ask questions, solve problems, and see how STEM concepts connect to the world around them. Whether students are already considering a STEM career or simply curious about how the world works, they gain practical skills and a deeper understanding of the subjects shaping their futures.
