Stone Lab’s one-week introductory courses provide students with a first-hand glimpse of life as a field researcher. Courses cover the physical and biological sciences and offer hands-on learning experiences ranging from capturing and preserving insects in Insect Biology to examining lake sediments and trawling for fish in the Oceanography class. Open to college and advanced high school students, these 3 quarter-credit courses are held throughout the summer.
