Kirit Karkare, an 11th-grader at Westlake High School, recently participated in the History of Physics and Technology Cluster of the California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science program at UC Davis.

The program is a four-week summer residential course for top high school math and science students. The classes are taught by distinguished university faculty on topics beyond the traditional high school math and science curriculum.

In addition to lectures and lab work, students also visited companies, government facilities, hospitals and museums to learn real-world applications.
