The Steppingstone MAgnetic Resonance Training (SMART) Center’s
purpose is to bring a research-based science experience to young,
science-oriented students in order to meet our mission of “Exciting
the next generation of scientists.” It offers middle school, high school,
and junior college students the opportunity to engage in research
experiences that are usually only available to college students.
Students will utilize a $200,000 magnetic resonance spectrometer
(EPR), develop a hypothesis to test, design an experimental
protocol to test their hypothesis, conduct experiments using an EPR
spectrometer, learn to analyze the data, and to reach a conclusion.
There are two components to the program. The first are these
training sessions, where students will:
- Learn to use the instruments
- Learn what kind of information they can get from the instruments
- Learn to design experiments which will make use of the instrumentation
Price: $300
