The Jackson Laboratory Headquarters in Bar Harbor, Maine 

The Jackson Laboratory welcomes Maine high school students to visit the Bar Harbor campus in the late spring. This one-day Open House will provide high school students an opportunity to meet and interact with JAX scientists, learn about genetics and genomics research, and participate in hands-on workshops of their choosing.

The Maine High School Open House is open to any high school student in Maine who has a strong interest in biomedical research and who intends to pursue higher education or a career in biomedicine.

 This program is designed for individual student participants, or small groups of students who will most benefit from an on-site experience at The Jackson Laboratory. For example, students who would request a one-day job shadow should attend this program in lieu of a more limited job shadow experience.

For more information, please contact the STEM and Undergraduate Education program staff at education@jax.org.
