REACH By Northwestern University

Hosted at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, REACH (Research Experiences in Astronomy at CIERA for High School Students) is geared towards students interested in a future career in astronomy.

The program supports students while they engage in research projects alongside professional astronomers. New topics are always being added, but some previous ones include How Can You Extract Energy from Black Holes? and The Velocities of Stars in the Milky Way.

Throughout the course, students learn research skills, including how to code in the Python programming language.

Each REACH session lasts for three weeks with the option to add on additional time for students to focus on an individual research project.
