Instruction focuses on the biological and ecological characteristics of nearby Galveston Bay.
Field explorations, computer technology and research skills are emphasized in this program. Female scientists are featured as guest speakers. Participants work toward completing a research project that is formally presented to their parents and fellow students as well as their home campus science teachers and administrators. Its design is similar to that of the South Texas Science Academy Summer Intern Program. Plans are underway to expand the program to a year-long schedule that will include company visits and exposure to various areas of science .
