The Central Valley Times reports on a summer course beginning this week at Cal State Bakersfield Central Valley campus, funded through a $400,000 grant from Chevron, where 89 students and 25 high school teachers will work together for four weeks on STEM projects. "Some of the research includes antimalarial drug development, digital watermarking to protect images and videos, robotics design and programming, predicting valley fever outbreaks using satellite image tracking of environmental changes, and analyzing sediment cores from local groundwater sources." It will give students the opportunity to earn college credit while learning how scientific research is conducted, and allowing professors to advance their work. http://www.centralvalleybusinesstimes.com/stories/001/?ID=18905
