The State News : Michigan State University’s free residential summer physics camp—the Physics of Atomic Nuclei Program—has proven popular. The outreach program, held at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, offers one week for science teachers and one week for high-school students. In 2010, some participants came from as far as California, and the camp enrolled its first international studentsâmdash;one from the UK and one from France. All participants attend a series of lectures, demonstrations, and tours; participate in cosmic-ray research; and present a poster at the end of the week.
