Summer Science Immersion
An intensive science education workshop for teachers along with select students.
June 16-20

Hosted at Duke University Medical Center, the weeklong Summer Science Immersion program is an exciting opportunity for fifth and sixth grade teachers to gain intensive experience in teaching through inquiry, direct exposure to latest biomedical research and applications of science, and discussion of effective strategies for working with minority, underserved, and other hard-to-engage students. A small group of specially selected students and parents will also get to participate in this program, which will combine with breakout sessions solely for teachers and group projects and field trips. See the draft program schedule for more detailed information.

Participants will receive a stipend of $750 for attending the five day program. Program activities will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., June 16-20. Breakfast, lunch and snacks will be provided each day.

Applications by sixth grade science teachers at Durham's Rogers-Herr, Brogden, DSA, and Githens Middle Schools; and fifth grade teachers at Lakewood, E.K. Powe, George Watts, and Forest View Elementary Schools will be considered on a rolling basis. Click here to download the registration form. For more information, please contact:
