Applications for the BRIGHT Girls Summer Academy are Open

BRIGHT Girls offers two-week, free, day-only academies in Fairbanks (July 10-21) and Juneau (July 24-August 4) for high school girls. Participants explore the biology and habitat of salmon (in Fairbanks) or harbor seals (in Juneau). Expect to go boating, take pictures, use science tools and technology, take measurements in the field and the lab, and explore the outdoors with new friends. Visit brightgirlsak.org to learn more and submit an application by April 1. For more information, contact Laura Oxtoby at leoxtoby@alaska.edu, 907-474-5396.
