Gearing Up with a Science Boot Camp

The Scripps California high school intern program is part of a San Diego regional Life Sciences Summer Institute collaboration that includes Salk Institute, La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology, and Torrey Pines Institute. The collaboration offers interns a Science Boot Camp held at Grossmont and Miramar Colleges at the beginning of the summer. During the one-week event, students are trained in lab procedures and activities.

Here, attending the boot camp are (left to right) Idris Ahmed of Crawford H.S., Jennifer Prieto, a Salk Institute summer intern, Billy Debenham of El Capitan H.S., and Jose Suarez of Kearny H.S. of Digital Design and Media.
