2026 Summer of Science HBCU Experience 

Get ready for an unforgettable journey!

 

The Summer of Science HBCU Experience is making stops at three prestigious HBCU campuses, giving students (ages 14-17) exclusive access to the culture, faculty, and cutting-edge scientific programs that make these institutions powerhouses in STEM and beauty innovation.

 

ARE YOU READY TO ELEVATE YOUR FUTURE? 

From lab demonstrations and guest lectures by industry leaders to film screenings, interactive assignments, and curated field trips — every moment is crafted to spark curiosity and fuel ambition.

This immersive summer camp experience engages aspiring scientists, innovators, and beauty creatives who will dive into hands-on experiences designed to equip them with the skills, confidence, and knowledge to thrive in their future careers. 

Each stop on the tour has been thoughtfully designed to introduce students to cosmetic science specializations—including raw materials in beauty products, skincare, bodycare, and fragrance—while fostering personal and professional growth inside the classroom and beyond.
