This program offers a unique opportunity for high school students to actively engage in authentic, interdisciplinary research within a university lab setting, collaborating directly with UT Austin faculty and students and earning UT extension course credit.
The UT Dallas High School Research Academy (HSRA): Data Analytics Track offers high school students an immersive, five-week, non-residential research experience at the University of Texas at Austin campus. Participants engage in hands-on research projects within active College of Natural Sciences (CNS) laboratories, collaborating directly with UT faculty and students. The program focuses on utilizing real datasets, data science methods, computational tools, and statistical modeling techniques across various scientific fields like biology, neuroscience, and environmental science. Students learn cutting-edge research techniques, data analysis methods, and research practices. The academy also includes weekly seminars with guest researchers and culminates in a research symposium where students present their work via a printed poster.
Students spend approximately 15-25 hours per week with their research group, with specific schedules distributed by the assigned lab. They also participate in weekly seminars with guest speakers.
This program is ideal for passionate and highly motivated rising high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors (preferably juniors and seniors) who are at least 15 years old by the program start date, are Texas residents, and have a strong interest in scientific research and data analytics.
