This week-long camp is for middle and high school students who wish to be introduced to the world of scientific research. Participants will be introduced to topics that are essential to scientific research, such as ethics, lab safety, scientific method, and experimental design. The goal is for students to experience how a research lab operates and learn some of the advanced techniques used in STEM investigations by completing an experiment on C. elegansfrom start to finish. At the end of the week, each student will give a short presentation about their lab experiment and experience for parents and guest scientists.

Limited to 10 students, Fee: $300 for the week . Please contact lnordmann@fairbanksmuseum.org to sign up.
