Education seeks projects, volunteers for summer programs

Education Program staff are preparing for the Lab’s summer education programs and they need your help.

Fourteen high school students and six science teachers will be here from June 21— August 13. Education staff are looking for mentors and projects for both the students and the teachers. If you have a project that would be good for high-achieving high school students or dedicated science teachers, send a short description of the project and what you’d like the students or teachers to do to Education Program Manager Jan Tyler (tyler@jlab.org). If you have questions call her at ext. 7164.

The students are part of the Summer Honors Internship Program (SHIP) for high school students.

The Lab will also receive regular visits from Cerebral Palsy Camp kids from the end of June through mid-August. Every Wednesday from 11 a.m.—3 p.m. 12 different youth will visit the Lab to take part in a liquid nitrogen demonstration, computer activities, and the BEAMS activities Design & Engineering and Cold Stuff.

Education is looking for staff able to volunteer an hour to lead the students in any one of these activities. "If you’ve ever wanted to get involved in BEAMS, but were unsure about dealing with 25 students in a room at the same time, this is a great opportunity to interact with students and help with these activities in a small class setting," Tyler said.

Take peak into the depths of theoretical physics

Have you ever wondered just what the Theory Group does? If so, you might want to check out their glass display cases in the second floor atrium of CEBAF Center (across from the Computer Center’s publication shelves).

The Theory Group recently began displaying the title page of publications and papers authored by group members. The first case features recent material while the second case will highlight "all-time favorites," according to Sue Ewing, administrative assistant to the Lab’s chief scientist.

Inset into each page is a clearly worded abstract explaining the purpose of the research paper. The complete papers and publications are available in Ewing’s office, CEBAF Center, room C219.
