This book describes the educational program of the Jisan Research Institute, the only precollege teaching laboratory in the US. It's a remarkably conversational book which takes the reader through the unexpected beginning of the lab and the various educational paradigms developed there. It's a must-read for those interested in developing their own apprenticeship-based research program for young people. Illustrating all the main points with poignant stories gleaned from years of teaching, Dr. Kazadi sets the stage for educators, students, and parents alike, clarifying just what needs to go into a good research program and giving clues about how to do it.
