Each summer students work in groups of approximately 6 students, led by a Group Facilitator. They collect, analyze and interpret data related to a interdisciplinary research project, in which students are free to discuss new ideas and carry out group-designed experiments. The integrated model feeds from student curiosity, often has a real-world basis, and is led by a UMaine faculty member or expert in the field of study. Previously professors have kept the data collected by students and analyzed it as part of their own research.
