GatorLab: for Middle School students entering 7th and 8th grades
There is no cost to participate in this program.
This application is for either GatorLab or JumpStart.

GATORLAB For Middle Schoolers: There will be two, overlapping two-week day camp sessions held on the University of Florida campus where students will work alongside undergraduate and graduate science and art students and faculty researchers to explore different concepts from solar art to galaxies. This program is great for students interested in science or the arts!
The hours will be 9:00 am-4:00 pm with early drop off at 8:15 am and late pick up until 4:45 pm. Breakfast (available at 8:15 am) and lunch (available from 11:30 am-12:30 pm) will be provided during set times. We recommend sending lunch and snacks if your student has a specialized diet, but we will offer a variety of options that may accommodate most diets.
Students will attend one 2-week session. Session 1: June 3 - June 14; Session 2: June 10 - June 21.
