Are you a high school student with a passion for science, technology, engineering, or math? Join us for the EXSEED Student Conference, June 22 - 26, 2026, an immersive 5-day event designed to ignite your curiosity in STEM+C (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math + Computing) and set you on a path to success. This is an opportunity to dive into your interests, connect with experts, and experience a taste of college life.
At EXSEED, you won't just learn — you'll do. You'll engage in hands-on projects, hear from inspiring faculty, and collaborate with peers who share your drive. Choose a specialized track and get ready for an unforgettable experience that will challenge you, inspire you, and prepare you for the future.
The $200 application fee secures your spot at the conference and provides you with all the essentials for a great experience.
Eligibility varies by track. Please see the individual track pages for specific grade requirements.
Please Note: For those staying in the immediate vicinity of campus or commuting locally, shuttle service will not be provided. Registrants from out of town will be responsible for the cost of travel to Loma Linda, hotel/lodging, and any meals outside of the provided lunch (e.g., breakfast and dinner).
Select one of our specialized tracks and spend the conference immersed in the subject that interests you most. Each track is led by university faculty and industry professionals who are experts in their fields.

| Hotels | Students attending from outside the local area (i.e., outside daily driving distance) are responsible for arranging their own lodging. Loma Linda and the surrounding cities have many safe and convenient hotel options to fit various budgets. We recommend booking your accommodations in Loma Linda, Redlands, or San Bernardino for the shortest commute. To be included in the daily hotel shuttle service, please book your stay at one of the following hotels:
Loma Linda Inn: The inn is located near campus and within walking distance from all track locations so daily transportation will not be provided. |
We look forward to your visit to the LLU campus in June. If you will be traveling by air, there are several airports serving Southern California. Each provides options for ground transportation to Loma Linda, CA.
| Local Airports | Distance to LLU | |
| Ontario International Airport (ONT) | 22 miles | |
| Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) | 52 miles | |
| John Wayne International Airport (SNA) | 55 miles | |
| Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) | 76 miles |
Should you wish to explore the local attractions after conference hours, Loma Linda University has a department that offers discount tickets to various amusement parks and entertainment venues. We would be happy to arrange for you to get these tickets upon request. Please note that while we can help you with ticket arrangements, we are unable to organize or provide transportation for after-hours entertainment. Requests for tickets will need to be made prior to April 30th.

I really enjoyed joining the AI in Healthcare sessions at the EXSEED Student Conference 2025. I got to learn something new about AI and how it is used in healthcare . . . I was able to use AI to create a game for people who have ALS . . . It is a great experience, and I recommend it to anyone who’s passionate about helping people.
With your help, we can advance education and improve student success in our community.
