Spend the summer doing laboratory research in a paid internship, and learn
more about bringing the experimental and problem-solving skills that scientists
and mathematicians use in their research into the K-12 classroom! We encourage
you to apply to our Summer Institute 2010, which is a 9-week program from
June 14-August 13. You will work full-time (40 hours/week) under the guidance
of a research scientist at a UC Berkeley lab or Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory near campus, receive a housing allowance and stipend of $5000,
and can get college course credit for a
workshop series that helps you connect the advanced research concepts
you will be learning in your lab with your future classroom teaching.
Lab placements will be found for you that match your major and research
interests, including science, math and engineering majors.
Program Highlights:
• Conduct research at internationally-known, top-rate laboratories on the UC Berkeley campus or at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (full-time 40 hours/week)
• Experience hands-on, inquiry based science and math lessons at
weekly seminars
(option to earn 3 units UC Berkeley Summer Sessions course credit)
• Learn to bring research skills acquired during your internship into a K-12 setting
• Create and present a poster demonstrating your research accomplishments,
identify a lesson plan that aligns with your research, and assemble a
digital portfolio that reflects on your summer research experience and
future plans to teach
• Receive a housing allowance and stipend totaling $5,000
To let us know you are interested in the Summer Institute, please fill out the online pre-application.
If you have questions, email Emily Bergen (evbergen@berkeley.edu), or
