The special school is being held at the U.S. Department of Energy's Oak
Ridge Lab (ORNL) and is being administered by the Oak Ridge Institute from
Science and Education (ORISE).
The summer program will focus on hands-on education and the application of
math and science principles in the 21st century. Students and teachers will
participate in field and lab experiments under the guidance of mentoring
scientists.
ORNL is one of the largest U. S. Department of Energy research facilities.
ORNL pioneers the development of new energy resources, and addresses the
important national and global environmental issues.
ARC sponsors the summer programs for selected students from 13 states.
Twenty-eight high school students and nineteen teachers have been
selected, with a more than respectable representation from Calhoun County.
Students are chosen for their academic and leadership potential. Teachers
are selected as a reward for their dedication to teaching.
The group will also have outside experiences at the American Museum of
Science and Energy, Mayfield Dairy, the Tennessee Aquarium and Dollywood
Amusement Park.
During the two-week period, you may check-up on the group by visiting the
