The students attended seminars given by university professors from schools including MIT, the University of Chicago and Emory University. Afternoon workshops were given by alumni and high school teachers from around the nation. Participants also had hands-on research experience as they worked on individually tailored projects with scientists from the Boston area.
The students will present the results of their work at the end of the program in written and oral formats. The works will then be published.
In addition to the classroom and laboratory activities, the students attended evening presentations by leaders in science, including Jim Paul, who designed the U.S. Olympic bobsled and is working on Formula One race cars, and Sheldon Glashow, a Nobel laureate in physics.
