MC2 is a two year program for high schools students. Sophomores apply for the program and if
selected, participate during their junior and senior year of high school. MC² gives priority to applicants in their sophomore year of high school who attend public high schools in the counties of Denver, Arapahoe, Adams and in some cases Douglas and Jefferson. The program places great emphasis on including students of diverse backgrounds and socio-economic groups.
Applications are to be postmarked by March 15 or hand delivered by March 16, 2010. Selected students begin participation in August of 2010. Access the registration materials on The Children’s Hospital website.
