Summary
Two Vermont high schoolers are diving headfirst into real science this summer, sailing on Lake Champlain with professional researchers as part of “Team ROTifer.” Armed with a thousand-pound sampler and a mission to study microscopic rotifers, they’re not just learning—they’re leading. From deploying gear to mapping procedures, these teens are treated as full team members, gaining hands-on fieldwork experience that textbooks can’t replicate. This UVM-backed program bridges high school and college research, sparking curiosity and building future scientists—one water sample at a time.
