ORWH (Office of Research on Women's Health)-NIH-FAES SUMMER
RESEARCH PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. Very selective, for
current juniors and seniors only. Wootton may nominate only 2
students. If interested, contact Mrs. Adler in room 288A (the DNA
Resource Center) for application. Students must be able to work
for 8 weeks during the summer and will receive a stipend.
Students who applied for HHMI/NIH/MCPS SIP will receive priority.
Most of these mentors will retain interns during the academic
year.

SCIENCE & ENGINEERING APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM (SEAP). The
Science and Engineering Apprentice Program (SEAP), sponsored by
George Washington University and the Department of Defense, is an
eight week summer program for high school students. SEAP is
designed so that students can apprentice in fields of their
choice with experienced scientists and engineers. This
opportunity provides students with valuable experience needed to
make informed career decisions. Students apprentice with their
mentors on mutually agreed upon projects. At Army Research
facilities, the students apprentice in a professional research
laboratory setting and learn how their research can benefit the
Army as well as the civilian community.
Because of the setting, students are treated as research
asistants rather than just teenagers. First year participants are
awarded an educational stipend.
The students contribute to the research of the laboratory while
learning research techniques in the process. This "hands-on"
experience gives students a broader view of their fields of
interest and shows students what kind of work awaits them in
their future career. The students also attend demonstrations and
go on field trips to learn more about the inner workings
of an Army Research Laboratory. At the end of the summer, the
students prepare final reports and present their research at a
final seminar.
For more information please e-mail to:

OFFICE OF NAVAL RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES IN MARINE SCIENCES:
While there are some opportunities in marine-related fields for
those who do not continue their education beyond high school,
they are generally limited to technical support positions. If
you are interested in an oceanography or marine-related career,
first you should enroll in as many chemistry, earth science,
biology, physics, computer science, and mathematics classes as
possible in high school. Also think about participating in a
science fair, the ocean science bowl or an intern program that
will give you hands-on experience. Some of the many ocean science-
related programs available to high school students include.....

ARMY EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH PROGRAM: Army Educational Outreach
Program (AEOP). The United States Army has long recognized that a
scientifically and technologically literate citizenry is our
nation�s best hope for a secure, rewarding and successful
future. For over 50 years, the Army has supported a wide range of
educational opportunities in Science, mathematics, engineering
and technology for our youth and their teachers. Our nation�s
economy has greatly benefited from the technological achievements
of the last century and is destined for greater achievements
throughout the 21st century. Science, mathematics, engineering
and technology will continue to play a dominant role in all
aspects of everyday life in the 21st century. For this reason,
the Army has created the AEOP, which greatly expands and
integrates an array of Army educational opportunities for the
future generations of America�s workforce and their teachers.
The AEOP is comprised of Army-sponsored research, education,
competitions, internships and practical experiences designed to
engage and guide students and teachers in science, mathematics,
engineering and technology. From kindergarten through graduate
school, students of all proficiency levels, interests, and
ethnic, economic and academic backgrounds are encouraged to
participate in real world experiences involving these important
disciplines. Programs involve interactive activities and
knowledgeable mentors to introduce students to these areas.
Events include school visits, neighborhood activities and
community science fairs. Engineers, scientists, mathematicians
and technology experts, who act as mentors and guides, introduce
students to various levels of research and engineering and
provide advice on career opportunities and training. In AEOP,
high-school students can choose from a wide range of educational
challenges such as the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium or
the International Mathematics Olympiad. For those in grades 6-9
who prefer cyberspace, eCYBERMISSION is an inclusive web-based
science, mathematics and technology competition with significant
monetary awards for small teams of students who are interested in
open-ended challenges that are relevant and linked to their
community. GEMS, SEAP, UNITE, ISEP and REAP provide hands-on
internships to pre-college students, each program tailored to a
different age and interest. Materials World Modules enables
students and teachers from middle to high school to experience
science through the process of self-discovery. AEOP programs are
also available for college undergraduate and graduate students
that include extensive scholarship opportunities available at
numerous institutions across the country. The Army invites
parents, students and teachers in communities across America to
become familiar with AEOP. Taking advantage of its numerous
educational opportunities available in science, mathematics,
engineering and technology will ensure that America will continue
to maintain its technological leadership in a globally
competitive world. For additional information, applications and
deadlines, visit

2. These are geared for ciollege interns- but... it does mean the
orgaization is geared to accept interns. Make a case to them for
a high school intern. You could be really valuable if you intend
to stay during the academic year!
3. Read through the list of organizations. Might give you some
ideas to follow up on similar organizations that are local.
