I recently received this email from Jennifer Sykes from Delaware Technical Community College. They have a summer research course that sounds quite interesting. The program is free unless you want college credit. I have pasted her email below.
The Biology and Chemistry Department at Delaware Technical Community
College’s Stanton Campus is offering an exciting summer experience for
high school students. Please pass along the below information and
attached flyer to school administrators and teachers that would be
interested in sharing this opportunity with their students. If you would
like color copies of the flyer to distribute or post, I am more than
happy to send them to you.
If anyone has questions about or would like to register for the program,
they can contact me directly. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,

SMART Start to Research Techniques is 2-week, half day summer experience

12:30 p.m.
Faculty from the Biology and Chemistry Department at Delaware Tech will
be teaching students both laboratory and field research techniques.
Hands-on field research will include the investigation of local
waterways through macro-invertebrate sampling and water quality testing.
Laboratory research techniques will include DNA isolation, amplification
(PCR) and sequencing. Guest speakers and field trips are scheduled
throughout the camp.
This program is free for students not seeking college credit. For
students interested in receiving college credit, a payment of $124.25
(the cost of tuition and fees) will be required. Please note that space
