Accelerated Weekend Experience at Northwestern University

What do you do with a bright adolescent with a thirst for knowledge but a full schedule?  How can parents continue to enrich their child's studies when extracurricular activities and other obligations compete for a young adult's time?  For academically talented students, the answer to both questions can be the same – the Accelerated Weekend Experience!

Accelerated Weekend Experience (AWE) provides academically bright students in grades 5 through 8 an opportunity to explore a subject of study in depth and with concentration, with an expert in the field, over one weekend. 

Since older students often juggle many commitments, the Accelerated Weekend Experience affords them the chance to be inspired, invigorated and impassioned in a short two-day session. Participants investigate a subject that is new to them and learn about its practical applications by collaborating with like-minded peers and vanguard instructors.
