Students entering 9th-12th grade can now sign-up for three of the four exciting summer camp sessions organized by Northwest Association for Biomedical Research (NWABR). Each of the four camp tracks for Camp BIOmed are a week long and will be repeated for seven weeks, starting July 7 through August 23.
Students and parents can register and find additional information about the programs at www.nwabr.org/campbiomed.
The four summer camp programs focus on various topics relating to biomedical research and its ethical conduct, which include:
Bioethics thru Gaming
Protein Foldit! Be a Citizen Scientist
Hive Bio (Do it Yourself) Lab with Neuroscience
Lab Intensive Experience
Throughout the summer camps, students will take part in hands-on experiments at local biomedical businesses and research facilities, track their own findings as part of these experiments in lab journals, and tour local Seattle biomedical organizations. Each week of the summer camp will conclude with a culminating expo where campers will share all group and individual projects and contributions.
Early bird registration is open now for members for $450-$525 depending on track. Non-members can begin registering on January 29 by signing up as a member ($25, plus the camp fee). The price for camp for all will increase after March 31 by $90 for all tracks. Financial assistance for partial camperships are available for students to attend the program. The financial assistance application is available in the camp registration at http://www.nwabr.org/campbiomed
