Overview
Psychology Discovery is a program from the Psychology Department, in collaboration with the Flandrau Science Center. This program will invite 5th - 12th grade classes from Tucson schools to visit the University of Arizona campus. We will set up a series of stations for groups of students to explore psychological ideas, demonstrations, and activities.
We recruit students for the Spring and Fall semesters to design and run the program's activity stations in exchange for either Independent Study or Directed Research credit. Selected students will be able to register for 1-3 units, depending on their interest in participating in additional projects and data analysis. *You must be available to consistently attend every week in order to participate.
ABOUT
Psychology Discovery will run on Thursdays from 9 am - 12 pm.
You must be available to attend these times every Thursday in order to participate. Students will receive either independent study or directed research credit for participating, depending on their major.
