Research Experiences for High School Students
Research Experiences for High School Students (REHSS) will introduce STEM-interested high school students to the scientific process in a real-world environment. Students will take part in every aspect of the research project, from designing the experiment and collecting data to conducting analyses, compiling and visualizing results, and presenting a final report. This activity will function as a pilot project to build a framework for implementation across as much of the jurisdiction as possible, as distance will be a limiting factor for participation. To implement REHSS, a team that may include a high school student, their home STEM instructor, and a Mayville State University STEM faculty member will work to create a research topic and experiment.
The participating REHSS will be paid hourly throughout the summer months to do their research projects.
How to Get Your Students into a REHSS Project
The flyers on the SPARK-ND activities at Mayville State University have been routinely distributed to all M-12 Schools and their STEM instructors. A reminder will be sent to M-12 Schools and STEM instructors at the end of the spring semester. Interested high school students or the respective STEM instructors will contact Dr. Khwaja Hossain, and positions will be opened with the help of human resources at Mayville State University.
