Project SEED (Summer Experiences for the Economically Disadvantaged) provides talented, motivated high school students to work on cutting-edge chemical research with research mentors in academia and industry. The 2009 10-week summer research program sponsored by the Akron Section of the American Chemical society and hosted by four departments at The University of Akron (Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Polymer Science, and Polymer Engineering) will begin with a meeting on Friday, June 12, 2009 and run through Friday, August 14, 2009. During the program, students work ~40 hours per week in the research laboratories with their mentor(s) or researching their project in the library.
