PHILOSOPHY

It is our belief that if students are given adequate Time to engage in true Inquiry into their own questions, and find that they and their new findings Matter to others, they will continue to Explore more opportunities in science.  — TIME Partnership

HISTORY

The TIME Science Research Program was founded in 2006 by Jennifer Williams and Mary Arnaudin with a generous grant from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund. This program is the product of a partnership between Transylvania County Schools and 4H Youth Development. The TIME Program is a student-led, independent research, science inquiry course and extracurricular activity. It is available to high school students in Transylvania County and has a year-round laboratory in Brevard High School. While many universities encourage science research, this is the only program of its kind in the country available to high school students. Students conduct an authentic science research project in the fall semester and compete in several local, state, national, and international science research competitions in the spring.
