The Princeton Lab Learning Program is a Program for highschool students to get a glimpse of what a real college lab is like. In it, an applicant is given a selection of projects, and then he/she chooses the one they are most interested in. It ranges from chemistry, to biology, to nanotechnology and everything in between. If the applicant is accepted, the student will be able to do their own research in a Princeton Lab along side college students and professors.
Though competitive and difficult to achieve admittance, the program is one of the best for students wishing to explore the world of research. Unlike other research programs, this program is fairly loose in that there is no staff dedicated to you and the program. On the project that an applicant has chosen, he/she must be able to teach themselves new material without a teacher or help. This can be very difficult as highschool students generally have barely scratched the surface of science, but if correctly done, the student will have learned an invaluable technique.
