The 2010 STARs spent an exciting week engaging with top scientists and researchers at Tennessee's Oak Ridge National Lab, America’s largest, multi-purpose, national research laboratory. Working in teams in collaboration with ORNL scientists, STARs conducted short-term mentored research projects focused on current topics of national interest. In addition to the research immersion, STARs had the opportunity to attend seminars, mini-workshops, tours, and field trips to focus and expand the research experience. The program concluded with presentations from STARs teams sharing their research projects with the rest of the group. Get a glimpse of the STARs in action below!
