Science CORPS is a part-time, paid, five-week program that provides community college students a real-world research opportunity in biology. Over the course of the program, students:
- Contribute to a distributed ecological study (i.e. an experiment that they can deploy at home). Students receive the needed supplies in the mail.
- Attend a series of online professional development meetings that provide training on how to do research, how to analyze and interpret data, and how to read scientific papers, as well as introduce student researchers to STEM career opportunities.
Students also have the opportunity to create a poster of their experimental results to present at a regional scientific conference!
