Grade 11: Summer Research II
The Summer Research II course is designed to give students further insights into designing and undertaking a scientific research project, as well as the necessity of effective communication with the scientific community and the general public.
Students continue or expand upon the group projects from the previous semester and design a scientific poster about their research. They then present to their peers, families, and members of the Vanderbilt community at the Joint Retreat Research Symposium. The teams will be expected to convene regularly to share progress, constructive input, and strategic next steps throughout the session.
In the fall, students move on to the Interdisciplinary Science III class.
