Students spend two to three days learning about the structure and organization of Congress, the federal budget and appropriations process, and tools for effective science communication and civic engagement.
Rackham covers registration as well as all associated travel and lodging costs for the selected students. For additional details about the CASE Workshop visit the American Association for the Advancement of Science website.
