M-SPIRE is an annual two-week summer program for high school and community college students. UCI MRSEC members lead team- and project-based activities and mentor students via a hierarchical mentoring model. M-SPIRE interns get hands on experience in the fundamentals of materials research – design, synthesis and characterization - on grand challenge topics studied in the CCAM. M-SPIRE research will inspire and prepare students to pursue four-year programs in materials related disciplines.
