National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y)

The DO-IT Center and Center for Neurotechnology (CNT) at the University of Washington sponsor a five-day program for neurodivergent students during the summer. High school and college students receive an introduction to neuroscience and neural engineering, neuroethics, and scientific communication. Participants will learn about research in CNT laboratories. The goal is to provide students with exposure to the field of neural engineering and provide basic preparation for college studies in STEM subjects as well as future STEM careers. Applications for our August summer program are currently accepted for the upcoming summer.
