About Young Scholars Program

UCSD CREATE Young Scholars Program is a family-paid enrichment program provided by UC San Diego CREATE for students grades 1-12. It is an opportunity for young people to continue practicing and learning during the summer and to explore novel topics and interdisciplinary instruction tailored to their unique grade level and interests on the UC San Diego campus.

The primary goal of the Young Scholar Program is to be a learning opportunity for students to experience the enjoyment and power of learning in an environment distinct from the traditional school day. It is also a phenomenal opportunity for educators to enjoy the creativity and freedom to educate kids outside of the confines of the classroom, state standards, and traditional assessments. 

This Summer 2025, our theme is “Igniting Curiosity.”
