Our objective is to help each student discover their true interest by creating the opportunity to explore and solve scientific problems. We have 60 students on the team, mentors and ASD interpreters.
UHSSE - The University High School of Science and Engineering is a partnership

The school prepares graduates for pursuing further education and careers
in a range of scientific, engineering, and technology fields. Internships with local science and engineering firms
are available for interested students - such as, UCONN Mini Medical, Junior Doctor Academy,
