We offer various workshops for high school teachers and students.
One-Day Summer Workshops
We conduct one-day summer workshops to network with high school teachers interested in introducing their students to research in a variety of disciplines. We also share with the teachers research modules that we have tested which they can use in their classes.
The workshop includes breakfast and lunch for participants (teachers and high school students). Each teacher may bring a few students to the workshop as well. Because of the hands-on nature of the workshop, including at field sites and in the laboratory, available slots for participants are limited.
