▌ Editor's read The Tufts University Biomedical Engineering Research Scholars (TUBERS) program is a free, non-residential summer program for high school students, owned and operated by Tufts University. The program website, sites.tufts.edu/tubers/, loads successfully and provides detailed information about the program, including its mission to provide an immersive research experience in biomedical engineering. The program is not accredited by the ACA, which is typical for university-run academic programs. There is no mention of specific staff-to-student ratios or background check policies on the website. The program is described as a 'day' program, running from July 8 - August 2, 2024, and focuses on hands-on research, lab skills, and mentorship. Google reviews for Tufts University generally show a high rating, but specific reviews for the TUBERS program are not readily available. The program emphasizes providing a unique opportunity for students to engage in real-world scientific inquiry.

Who thrives here Ages 16–18

Tufts University Biomedical Engineering Research Scholars (TUBERS) serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in academic, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
