The University of Connecticut Mentor Connection provides talented high school students from New England and around the country an opportunity to work with a university faculty mentor on a research project during a 3-week program held on the Storrs campus each summer. In July 2005 two footballers from Bridgeport Connecticut, Okey Gubor and Kennedy Oghayore tackled nuclear physics. The challenge of their three-week project was to design and build an experiment to test a new kind of detector that is sensitive to very low levels of light, so dim that it comes in tiny flashes known as photons. Read the press account of their exploits, or see their slide show for more details. |
