IN PERSON: Have you ever wondered what goes on in Duke University’s world-class research labs? Each week, students will visit one of the many unique research labs on Duke’s campus to find out. Participants will meet over coffee on West Campus to review the day's itinerary before heading out to explore. In the Tuesday class, we will visit places such as the human patient simulator and surgical training lab, the research greenhouse, the electron microscope lab, the virtual reality (VR) lab, and the remote-tracking lab for marine life. In the Wednesday class, we will visit places such as the robotics for medicine lab, free electron laser bunker, A/V and book conservation lab, and the virtual reality (VR) lab. At many of the stops, there will be opportunities for hands-on experiences. Participants will get a glimpse into the diverse world of Duke research. Staying for lunch afterward at the award-winning Brodhead Center (a food hall modeled on the Eataly experience in New York City) or at another campus eatery is optional. There will be 30 to 45 minutes of walking for each session. Participants will be expected to pay for parking on Duke's West Campus. | Facilitated discussion, Active Skill Learning.
