Several high school students from Carbon County participated in the 40th annual Summer High School Institute (HSI) held at the University of Wyoming in June.
In all, 53 juniors from around the Cowboy State were in Laramie for the three-week program held June 9-29.
Participants from Carbon County included Isaiah Guerrero and D.D. Sloan from Encampment, Lia Bauer of Rawlins and Koen Shahady of Saratoga.
Participants lived in the UW residence halls and took specially designed college-level classes from professors across many disciplines. They also engaged in activities and discussions to develop their leadership skills and explore future opportunities.
In addition to taking two college-level courses, students explored a range of research opportunities through guided tours of cutting-edge facilities such as UW’s Nursing Simulation Lab and the 3D CAVE. They also participated in research seminars on topics including clean hydrogen.
