ORBS (Opportunities for Research in
Behavioral Sciences) is a program for high school students and undergraduates
attending 2-year colleges that provides research experience for students
who are traditionally underrepresented in the sciences. ORBS is strongly
committed to student learning through student teaching at all grade levels,
and ORBS students thus perform community outreach; educating other students
about their research, their goals, and their vision. Current participants
include students from San Diego City College, Southwestern College, and
the Preuss School. If you are a student interested in participating in
ORBS, please contact the appropriate ORBS coordinator for your school.
If you would like to add your institution to the program, please contact
James Nieh at jnieh@ucsd.edu.
