  The program is free and open to teams of students across the country, high school through college. The program provides students with authentic research experiences in the classroom. The program is conducted via distance learning technologies and is designed to provide maximum flexibility for student teams. Live classroom sessions are mostly conducted during after school hours; the sessions are archived for teams that wish to watch at alternate times. Students communicate regularly with peers and science team members through an online bulletin board that is moderated by the Student PI Program manager. Learn more: http://minirf.jhuapl.edu/
