In 2012, UPAEP＇s （Universidad Popular Autonoma del Estado de Puebla） high school requested OSU （Oklahoma State University） to host a two-week program for students enrolled at UPAEP high school.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the process of designing and delivering a two-week program called Summer Academy UPAEP 2012. This program took place in Stillwater, Oklahoma, at the OSU campus. Twenty-five Mexican students participated in the program. This program was a new experience for both institutions （UPAEP and OSU）.
