Who Can Participate
Who is involved in YAW?
Students from the Chugach School District,
as well as students from Cordova, Seward,
Valdez, Nanwalek, Seldovia and Port Graham
participate in YAW. The students range
from 8th to 12th grade. Limited space on
research vessels and limited funds for
transportation allows selection of 25-30
students. Interested students must
complete an application
and will be selected based on the quality
of that application.
A teacher from each school site acts as a
site coordinator helping the students to
gain training and understanding of the
research projects. The site coordinators
accompany students when they travel.
Principal investigators are scientists
conducting long term environmental
monitoring projects. Each project that the
students are involved with has a principal
investigator who organizes training for
that project.
