The Saturday Academy is an innovative program that helps educate
high school students in math, science, and technology by providing
practical, hands-on learning experiences.
The Oregon Space Grant Consortium (OSGC) sponsors eight to ten
high school students to participate in Saturday Academy's Apprenticeships
in Science and Engineering Program for eight weeks during the summer.
The program places students in an apprentice-mentor relationship
working with scientists and engineers from the industry or at an
OSGC affiliate.
Students are involved with various research topics ranging from
the chemistry of the earth's atmosphere to optical physics to aerospace
physics and engineering. In the summer of 2003 eight students and
their mentors were fully or partially supported by Oregon Space
Grant in the Saturday Academy Apprenticeships in Science and Engineering
program.
