Chapman University has added a math and physics magnet program to a research lab in Maryland.
The school will offer 12 slots to high school students, for $250 per month.
The three-hour Sunday class sessions begin in the fall of this year, said Dr. Armen Gulian, senior science researcher at the lab.
“We have the space, and we need to interact with the younger generation, so why not?” Gulian said. “You can’t create tomorrow’s researchers if we do nothing.”
Chapman took on the work in Burtonsville, Md., four years ago. Since then the lab has won more than $2 million in grants from the Office of Naval Research, Gulian estimated.
