Here are 2 excellent student/scientist research programs, both supported in part by Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
One at Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia: http://www.fccc.edu/research/education
and one at Jackson Labs, Bar Harbor, Maine: http://www.jax.org/education/index.html

Hi,
I'm doing some scoping research of students' science programs.
I'm interested in programs that:
* Have students working with real scientists and real science
research
* Last over a series of weeks (i.e. more long term)
* Focus more on students who aren't already planning to do a
science degree
* Involve students of elementary or middle school age, and/or
* Involve older students who can count the program towards school
assessment.
I'd like to know what the programs are, what is involved in running
them, stories of success and potential pitfalls.
Thanks for your time,
Amy
