Abstract

The Summer Institute provides a critical thinking forum for rising high school students to explore the big questions at the intersection of the humanities and cognitive sciences. Through daily lectures, interactive discussions, research exploration, and collaborative activities with OSU students and faculty across campus, students will learn central aspects of how this interdisciplinary study can work together to help us understand how we imagine, artistically create, and materially transform the world in which we live.

Description

IMPACT. 1: By exploring and connecting the correlations of the humanities and brain sciences, students will better understand critical processes such as thought, feeling, and action in our scientific world. -- 2. The program provides participants with a first-hand impression of the OSU college experience, and allows students to learn what it is like to study at a dynamic college campus. -- 3. Jointly sponsored by CCBS and the Office of Diversity & Inclusion, the Institute ensures and embraces the inclusion of students from traditionally underrepresented communities.
