 hear what each other are doing, debrief, and problem solve.  Some students boarding for WISE will enjoy a living‐learning community at the school that enhances their science experience and provides them with 24/7 faculty support.Another difference is high school credit versus a stipend.  Western was initially chosen because they had a research class, but even so, the teacher explained the need for afterschool income to offset the loss of an afterschool job so we provided a stipend to those students.  It may have been easier if a research class had been required.  That would have helped with high school credit and time constraints of both the students and the teacher
