Central Carolina Community College bioprocessing lead instructor Joe Robinson (left) and students Chris Barron, of Western Harnett High School, and Steven Collazo, of Overhills High School, check out a clump of DNA precipitated in a test tube by adding alcohol to filtered liquefied strawberries. The students were among 52 Harnett County Schools high school students taking part in the college's Upward Bound Math and Science Summer Academy. All visited the college's Lee County Campus the week of June 24-27 to gain hands-on experience with the use of math and science skills in careers such as bioprocessing, chemistry, broadcasting, chromatography, dental hygiene and dental assisting. They also learned more about what college is like and how to prepare to succeed.
