The primary objective of this project is to offer a four-week hands-on          science program at Southwest Texas State University for 24 high-                potential eighth-grade students from Texas rural schools with                   minimal science opportunities.  Participants will develope both                 analytical and communicative skills necessary for success in college            science programs.  This objective will be accomplished in a                     peer/mentor residential setting, through interactions with prominent            scientists, field experiences at major urban research centers and               guided scientific experiments with state-of-the-art scientific                  instruments.  A collection of the participants' final experiments,              performed during school year follow-up activities will be                       published.  Students also will present their experiments at state-wide          science fairs and conferences in collaboration with their school                science teachers.
