Headwaters 2024 Girls Science Camp returns this year! We will have a week of GIRLS ONLY science and camping at the Truckee Donner Land Trust’s Webber Lake Campground. In addition, girls can sign up for the Headwaters’ Summer Research Experience, for a full summer of science. Students will create: An original research project complete with research methods and data collection. A polished research presentation. This can be used as a starting point for science fair or other bigger projects. The opportunity to join the Summer Research Program to publish their paper. Foundations of the program: 1. Scientific Research Students work with a cohort of peers at Webber Lake and with professional scientist mentors to create questions around their environmental topics of interest and develop these questions into a research project. 2. Mentorship The students will be mentored by scientists for guidance through their project. These career-scientists can help with recommendations for how to turn an idea into an executable project. 3. Professional caliber scientific exploration Participants are given the chance to practice science just like a professional would, analyzing data and finally creating a research talk. If they would like to create a paper they should also join our Summer Research Experience and at the end, they submit their paper for publication. They can get all of their data collected for the summer-long program during this week at Webber Lake.
