During six weeks over the summer, the program provides teens with authentic exposure to a variety of field science experiences and skills. TERA teens work as paid members of research teams alongside WashU scientists, post-doctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students. Thoughtful mentoring relationships are cultivated at every level within the community.Fall and winter activities are designed to provide important community outreach, bridging the communication gap between scientists and the public and emphasizing the value of environmental research.

Former TERA participant &＃147;I am so glad that I did end up working at Tyson; it helped prepare me for college, gave me a network of contacts, provided new friends of all ages, and allowed me to gain firsthand experience most kids my age would not be able to do. My goal was to learn what really is involved in natural research, and I do feel like a got a realistic picture of that.&＃148; — Former TERA participant past terA participants and their posters   2009201020112012 2013201420152016 2017201820192021 20222023   “There's no way we can experience the 'real' scientific world in high school alone.
