Schedule for 2008 - see bottom of page for last year's schedule so you can get an idea of what we will do in this academy
This academy is for students going into the 9th or 10th grades in the fall of 2009. If you participated in 2008 and have not graduated, you are eligible to be a peer leader. Please fill out the same application form and include a statement of why you would be a good peer leader and include a recommendation letter from a teacher that also addresses that you are ready for this type of position.
This academy's goal is to enhance students mathematical and scientific reasoning abilities. Students will learn basic concepts of research design and statistical concepts, data collection, survey design, observational research, computer use and presentation, learn more about careers in math and science, and foster a desire to attend college and pursue such careers. Academy dates are June 7 to 20, 2009.
During this two week long residential academy, they participate in activities from 9:00 to 4:00. Sessions consist of some lecture and computer skill acquisition; most of the time is spent putting their knowledge into action through hands-on learning experiences, including observational research, a survey design and administering exercise, and webpage design, as well as a visit to the Tulsa Zoo to test hypotheses about animal behavior. Students will also go on several field trips. Preliminary plans include OU-HSC, Frontier City, OK History Museum, and the Omniplex and a Redhawks’ baseball game.
Activities also include the challenge course at Camp Redlands, Jeopardy, and movie nights. Students will stay in traditional college dorm rooms with 24 hour supervision by a graduate student and will be provided three meals a day. Students will prepare all of their meals.
