Dear Students,

------

PRECIP, the Pre-College Internship Program, is a high school program designed to engage high school students in the atmospheric and related science fields. The program is designed to allow high school students to participate in a summer internship at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Students participate in research projects with scientists and engineers as part of a six week program. During these six weeks, the students will work on real-world research tasks and participate in writing workshops that designed to teach them how to write scientific abstracts of their work. At the end of the six week program, students produce a scientific poster that summarizes their work and results and present the poster at the NCAR student poster session with the rest of the NCAR summer interns. Many students have found this program to be beneficial when making decisions on what to pursue when they go on to college.
