Three Douglas County students spent much of the summer working with local professionals as part of the Oregon Graduate Institute's Saturday Academy.
Students work for eight weeks, full time during the summer, with a mentor in science or engineering.
The students also attended two seminars and made oral presentations about their work experience. Daniel Worden from Douglas High School worked with archeologist Isaac Barner of the Roseburg Bureau of Land Management, James Park of Camas Valley School worked with fisheries biologist Laura Jackson of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and Christian Groff of Roseburg High School worked with electrical engineer James Johnson of Pacific Power.
