This summer program will emphasize research participation in biology, chemistry, the earth sciences, and physics. The students will be involved in a combination of laboratory and field experiences and experiments, a research project, demonstrations, lectures and discussions to encourage participants to pursue careers in science and engineering education. The program provides intensive interdisciplinary exposure to science concepts and methods as students design and conduct their own experiments.
