laser processing, rockets and jets.
Computational Science Workshop - To be announced
Fifteen area students, entering the
8th and 9th grades the fall 2008, and three teachers will have an opportunity to learn the technologies, techniques, and tools of computational science during a two-week session at The University of Tennessee Space Institute.
In the workshop, students will learn how to use models, modify
existing models, and create models from scratch. Topics being
studied include computational astrophysics, meteorology,
agriculture, genomics, epidemiology, pharmacokinetics and drug
design, 3D graphics, and computational chemistry.
Tech Camp - To be announced
Tech
Camp is an exciting opportunity in which rising 6th and 7th grade
students spend five days engaged in fun and exciting activities alongside professionals in
the fields of Material Science,
Nanotechnology,
Alternative Energies, Information Technologies, Aviation and
Multidisciplinary Engineering.
Activities are led by technological professionals working
closely with middle school students and teachers to create an
environment that engages students and captivates their interest in
science.
