BEAM offers a unique blend of interdisciplinary studies, immersing students in UCI research labs alongside world-class professors and integrating scientific inquiry with leadership and entrepreneurship.
The UCI Biology Engineering AI Medicine (BEAM) program offers gifted high school students an immersive experience in cutting-edge STEM fields. Participants engage in university-level research within state-of-the-art facilities, guided by distinguished UCI faculty. The curriculum emphasizes improving research and innovation skills through lab-based experiences, covering topics such as mechanical/chemical engineering, aerospace engineering, and neurobiology. Students develop critical thinking, collaboration, and interdisciplinary innovation skills. The program also integrates scientific inquiry with leadership and entrepreneurship, preparing students for success in college and future STEM careers. Some programs offer the opportunity to earn up to 4 college credits through UCI's Division of Continuing Education and may include research projects with potential for publication.
A typical day involves morning lectures and engaging activities or visits to neuroscience labs, followed by lunch in a college dining hall. Afternoons are dedicated to laboratory activities, including designing and executing experiments in small groups with guidance from science mentors.
This program is ideal for high school students (grades 9-12) with a deep curiosity for research and a passion for exploration and discovery in biology, engineering, AI, and medicine.
