The Sci-Q Project will be held from June 16-22, 2024 at the Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC) located in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. Students will interact with local college professors as they showcase their research in a variety of fields.
