First Summer at Stanford

First Summer@Stanford

In July 2007, the first Summer@Stanford consisted of only six students in a physics lab on the Stanford University campus, but they were a lively bunch. As OHS Physics Instructor Gary Oas remembers, "David Sell, who later got a Ph.D. from Stanford in Applied Physics and is now a physicist at Applied Materials, was a bit energetic. I had borrowed a Michelson-Morley interferometer from the physics department to demonstrate some optics phenomena and at one point David sat on it (it was fine mostly)." All the equipment survived, and S@S remains the setting for many a story of student escapades.
