由于新冠肺炎大流行，针对高中生的短期课程从两周的现场实验室课程转变为为期四周的远程虚拟课程。学生们几乎每天都要开会，参加以下活动：演讲、演示、面试、小组讨论、课程、虚拟旅行和实地考察。与面对面的课程相比，虚拟版课程能够保持相同的学习目标和活动，并整合了额外的扩展课程，厨房化学活动，并强调科学职业，以提高学生的参与度。学生的反馈表明，对STEM职业的兴趣总体上有所增加，并且将一些新引入的活动纳入课程的未来版本中。
A short course for high school students was converted from a two-week, in-person laboratory course to a remote and virtual four-week course due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Students met virtually each day to participate in activities that included the following: presentations, demonstrations, interviews, group discussions, lessons, and virtual tours and field trips. The virtual version of the course was able to maintain the same learning objectives and activities when compared to the in-person session and integrated additional expanded lessons, kitchen chemistry activities, and an emphasis on careers in science in order to increase student engagement. Student feedback indicated that interest in a career in STEM was increased overall, and the incorporation of some of the newly introduced activities can be implemented into future versions of the course.
