The LLP offers a free, immersive research experience at a world-renowned university, providing direct mentorship from Princeton faculty and staff on ongoing, real-world projects.
The Princeton University Laboratory Learning Program (LLP) is a full-time, in-person summer research program designed for high school students. Participants work in active Princeton labs on real research projects under the close supervision of Princeton faculty and research staff. The program aims to expose students to the realities of life as a professional or graduate-level researcher, providing practical experience and fostering critical thinking skills essential for higher academic pursuits in college and future careers in research and innovation. Students gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge lab equipment, experimental techniques, and data analysis tools, while also engaging in workshops and seminars covering research methodologies, scientific writing, and ethics. A key outcome is the development of a two-page research summary report detailing their work and contribution to a project. The program emphasizes collaboration within a university research setting and offers mentorship from leading experts.
Internships typically span 5-6 weeks during regular "office hours" over the summer, generally Monday to Friday from approximately 9am to 5pm, with no evening or weekend activities.
This program is best for highly motivated high school students passionate about STEM research who are interested in gaining hands-on experience in a cutting-edge research environment and are considering a career in STEM.
