Applications open February 15 for the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) Research Experience for High School Students (REHS), an eight‑week summer program that introduces teens to high performance computing, computational science and research careers. The program runs June 8 through July 30 at SDSC, which is located at the University of California San Diego School of Computing, Information and Data Sciences.

Part of SDSC’s overall student outreach program, REHS gives participants hands‑on experience in data‑driven research while working alongside researchers and educators. Students learn to design and test hypotheses, analyze computational data, and present their findings through academic posters at a showcase.
“This program helps high school students see what a research career looks like day‑to‑day,” said Ange Mason, REHS program organizer and SDSC education manager. “The experience also builds teamwork, communication and problem‑solving skills important for high school and beyond.”
The application period runs February 15 to March 15, 2026. More information and application materials are available at education.sdsc.edu/studenttech/rehs.
