About Our Mentors
The SCENE program aims to provide cutting-edge science research experience to high school students over 16 years old who are considering a career in science or engineering. The program teaches critical thinking and research skills beyond what can be taught in the traditional classroom setting. The SCENE program can give a mentor and your group an opportunity to provide a unique research experience to academically inclined high school students. The SCENE program begins in the fall semester and ends in the spring semester after the state fair. SCENE involvement can provide an excellent means of satisfying the challenging outreach requirement for NSF and NIH grants.”
