The school program will feature three lectures per day that will be attended by all students. Each lecture consists of two 40-minute periods with a short break between. In the afternoon there will be track-specific talks, hands-on tutorial sessions, lab tours, and project work.

All lectures and tutorial sessions will be held at Bonner Hall, room 2130
