PoP SCIENCE - PORTAL TO THE PUBLIC

 

The North Museum’s PoP Science programs are made possible due to Museum’s involvement in the National Science Foundation’s Portal to the Public grant. The goal of Portal to the Public is to increase face-to-face interactions between area scientists and the public. The local partners for this grant are Franklin & Marshall College, Lancaster General Hospital, Millersville University and the North Museum.

PoP Summer Camps – two sessions available!

This summer’s Portal to the Public camps for 11 to 14 year olds will explore current research and real world applications in biotechnology and alternative energy. Participants will work with local scientists from local colleges and area businesses, and will also feature hands on activities lead by North Museum Curator of Science, Jim Ringlein.

Biotechnology (July 12-16) – This camp is an excellent opportunity to explore one of the most rapidly growing and fascinating fields of Biology. Investigate and explore using the newest in scientific technology and learn about the many careers biotechnology can provide.

Alternative Energy Sources (August 2-6) – Solar, wind, water - what does it all mean to you? Throughout the week, we’ll take a look at the latest research in producing and saving energy without using fossil fuels.
