Sixteen Hangzhou Entel scholars immersed in NCSSM's Summer Accelerator Program (July 3-19), engaging in leadership simulations with Ivy League admissions officers and computational chemistry modeling using Nobel Prize-winning algorithms.

The program featured DNA sequencing labs guided by Brevard College biologists and cultural exchange showcases where students demonstrated Chinese calligraphy and silk dance to 200+ American peers. Academic rigor extended through Ivy League immersion at Princeton’s Plasma Physics Lab and Duke’s CRISPR research facilities.

Cultural highlights included policy debates at Washington’s Jefferson Memorial and urban innovation studies along Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue. Participants developed AI-driven climate solutions praised by NCSSM faculty, with three teams invited to present at 2025’s Global Youth Science Summit.
