Tech-X: Mental Health + Technology Immersion Experience

A large, diverse group of students and adults pose together, all making an X-shape with their crossed arms.

Tech-X is a dynamic one-week summer program for high school students at the forefront of mental health innovation.

This immersive experience offers a deep dive into the intersection of mental health and technology - exploring where we are today and imagining future possibilities. Participants will engage in interactive seminars led by Stanford staff, faculty, and expert collaborators to explore cutting-edge digital mental health (DMH) tools and the impact of technologies like social media and AI on mental health. Participants will gain first hand exposure to Stanford's leading research and clinical work in psychiatry and behavioral sciences, with opportunities for hands-on learning.

The program emphasizes collaboration and creativity, encouraging participants to share their lived experiences and diverse perspectives to reimagine how we design safe and effective interventions for youth mental health. Throughout the week, participants will work in groups on exploratory projects and present their findings on the final day. Join us this summer to expand your knowledge, connect with experts, and contribute to the future of mental health innovation!

"It was really cool to learn about the different career paths all of the speakers had and the different ways technology could be used to improve healthcare. It solidified [my] interest in wanting to pursue something healthcare/psychology related."
