Three high school science teachers from Palm Beach County schools will start their six week summer internships on June 16 in the research laboratories of Scripps Florida in Jupiter.

Palm Beach County science teachers Retha Prescod from Atlantic Community High School, Karensa Wright from Seminole Ridge Community High School, and Meghan Cok from Boca Raton Community High School will be able to use the laboratory experience as a springboard to create opportunities in discovery-based learning for their students, affect change in their classrooms, and serve as a resource for other educators.

"We have a very intensive program designed for our science teachers this summer," said Deborah Leach-Scampavia, Scripps Florida's Education and Outreach Administrator.
