__District 10 Science Enrichment__ __Core Group Information__

The District 10 Science Enrichment Project is aimed at offering secondary students the opportunity to engage in real-life science, in the field, with community-based scientists and organizations. Many of the activities planned by the organizers are designed to accomodate approximately 30 students, from a variety of science backgrounds. Students are encouraged, by the cooperating teacher at their school, to participate in these activities.

At the onset of the enrichment project, students were made aware that there would be an opportunity to work on a science research project during the second half of this initiative. This science research project is aimed at offering students the opportunity to learn and practice real-life science methods in order to investigate a problem of their choosing. The students that comprise the "core group" are those students who applied and were selected to be a part of this science investigation team.

The core group of students will work with facilitators to select, design, carryout, and present their scientific research. As well as performing research, these students will be offered the unique opportunity to work as science mentors, and participate in stewardship activities, in their community. These activities will help students develop their leadership skills, with a special emphasis on developing communication skills that relate to science.
