U.S. Department of Energy http://www.energy.gov Educational resources, programs, competitions, etc. in all areas of math and science. Research opportunities, scholarships, internships, fellowships, etc. Pre-Service Teacher Internships (PST) http://www.scied.science.doe.gov/scied/PST/about.htm The US Department of Energy (DoE) has several programs for students and faculty to conduct summer research at many of its National Labs, such as Brookhaven National Laboratory. PST targets students who are preparing to become teachers of science, mathematics, and technology at elementary and secondary schools. In addition to the research component found in the SULI program, the students are guided by a resident Master Teacher to learn how to transfer their newfound scientific research expertise to the classroom. This culminates in each student writing an educational module based on his or her research, which incorporates science standards and benchmarks. Noyce Scholars are eligible for Supplemental NSF Funding in the amount of $4,500 per summer. Laboratory Science Teacher Professional Development (LSTPD) http://www.scied.science.doe.gov/scied/LSTPD/about.htm US Dept. of Energy Office of Science offers 3 outstanding programs at its National Labs under LSTPD: Teachers as Research Associates, Teachers as Investigators, and Teachers as Life-Long Learners. Stipends available. Faculty and Student Teams Program (FaST) http://www.scied.science.doe.gov/scied/fast/about.html US Department of Energy Office of Science offers $4,500 stipends to NSF students who engage in research projects at National Labs in collaboration with a faculty member. Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) http://www.scied.science.doe.gov/scied/erulf/about.html US Dept. of Energy Research Program at the National Labs: summer or academic year. Noyce Scholars are eligible for supplemental NSF funding. BNL College Mini-Semester http://www.bnl.gov/scied/programs/cminisemester/index.html Students spend one week at BNL during the winter break and participate in an environmental research project. Students also interact with Laboratory staff members, attend lectures on current projects and are guided on tours of Laboratory facilities to witness scientific research in progress. Students are encouraged to apply for 16-week academic semester programs and for 10-week summer programs. Students are expected to participate in a team research experience and present their results. BNL High School Research Program (HSRP) http://www.bnl.gov/scied/programs/hsrp/index.html Students must be at least 16 years old and either US citizens or PRAs (Permanent Resident Aliens). An attempt will be made to match a placement with the student's expressed interest, but that is not always possible. BNL's primary focus as an institution is research and development. Student interns participate in ongoing programs. Therefore, for those students who are applying specifically to do a project for a competition such as Intel, Westinghouse or Duracell, we cannot guarantee that an internship will lead to a competitive project, per se. Students who are accepted for and in turn accept an internship will receive a guest appointment, and must complete BNL's orientation and safety training. The safety training is given only at set times. Students may have to miss school to attend the training. Due to heightened safety regulations, students under the age of 18 may not be allowed to do certain tasks or work with certain chemicals or reagents that may be permitted in other venues, such as high school or university labs. BNL does not provide transportation for the student. BNL Minority High School Apprenticeship Program (MHSAP) http://www.bnl.gov/scied/programs/mhsap/index.html This program offers research apprenticeships to students who have completed 9th grade during the 04-05 academic year and are an under-represented minority (African Ancestry, Hispanic/Latino, Native American or Pacific Islander). Students should have demonstrated ability and/or potential in science-oriented studies and activities. Each high school in Suffolk County and Inner City Outreach schools are invited to submit nominees for participation. Approximately 15 students are selected to participate in a four-week program. The program consists of four one-week modules of instruction: physics, biology, chemistry, and environmental science. |
