The goal of this program is to attract women to physics by getting high-school students involved in research over the summer before they make decisions about college. The Alice in Wonderland internship consists of a series of daily lectures given by UT graduate students and, occasionally, by faculty over the first two weeks in June . These lectures cover subjects from computer modeling and quantum mechanics to scanning microscopy and thin film growth. These lectures are followed by the actual internship in a faculty research lab in the Department of Physics or Chemical Engineering.
