Description:
Join the Basin Resilience to Extreme Events (BREE) program, a research community that engages and challenges youth in STEM fields.

BREE sponsors student and teacher teams (one teacher and two students, one student must be female) from Vermont and partner states. We connect you with a mentor in your area of interest to guide your research project. Some teams work outside of the classroom to collect stream water quality data, whereas others choose to work with existing datasets.

Research Topics Include:

Lake and stream ecology, environmental policy and management, water quality indicators, land use management, and climate change indicators.

PARTICIPANTS:

Attend a virtual training event during the week of June 21-25. Learn how a research team functions and experience the scientific process first-hand. Investigate a research question of your own design during a three-month research period. Attend a virtual student research symposium and present your research.

Teachers receive a $500 stipend in addition to the equipment needed to complete their project!
