The program offers closely supervised work on cutting-edge research inside an authentic university lab with direct faculty mentorship, providing a genuine research experience.
The Princeton University Laboratory Learning Program (LLP) offers high school students a full-time, free research experience in the sciences or engineering. Participants are embedded in active university research laboratories, working under the close supervision of Princeton faculty and research staff. The program focuses on hands-on laboratory work, participation in lab meetings, and structured sessions on research methods and scientific communication. Students gain practical experience, learn critical thinking, data analysis, problem-solving, and relationship-building. They are exposed to advanced techniques and specialized equipment, contributing to ongoing research projects that may lead to publications or innovations. The program aims to expose students to the realities of life as a professional or graduate-level researcher, preparing them for higher academic pursuits and careers in research and innovation.
A typical day involves hands-on laboratory work, attending lab meetings where the broader research team discusses ongoing projects, and structured sessions on research methods and scientific communication.
This program is ideal for ambitious and curious high school students passionate about STEM research, particularly those interested in contributing to ongoing projects in engineering and the natural sciences.
