# UCLA Programs for High School Students

UCLA's institutes span the whole campus: nanoscience labs at CNSI, game design at the Game Lab, sci-art crossovers, startup incubation, and pre-college summer institutes.

For arts-and-STEM hybrid students, UCLA's sci-art and design programs are among the few that treat both sides as equally serious.
