An Experience to Remember
"My mentor encouraged me to not learn to memorize but to use logic… This program challenged me to think beyond what was being done."
—Mariana Gomez of Mater Dei Catholic High School, who interned in the Crossin lab with Assistant Professor Elena Makarenkova
"This program was well organized, thought out, and the events and seminars were absolutely phenomenal."
—Laura Suttie of Francis Parker School, who interned in the Torbett lab
"[The best part of the program is] you are placed in an environment with so many other people who love science just as much as you,"
—Maurice Turner of Horizon High School, who interned in the Kelly lab
"This has been the best summer I have had since I obtained my teaching credential… By participating in this program, I can give my students a first-person point of view [of] what laboratory life is like and the impact that can be made."
—Shelly Rannikko, teacher at Standley Middle School who interned in the Schneemann lab
