The CIMSS student workshop on Atmospheric, Earth & Space Sciences features an exciting five-day agenda in meteorology, astronomy, land remote sensing and geology. Participating students stay on campus in lakeside dorms and experience science education, research and technology through hands-on activities working directly with scientists, graduate students and professors. To learn more, read about past workshops and check out the photo gallery.
The 2010 workshop will be offered June 20th through 24th.
