Frederick Bianchi: Once I arrive on site with the students in Bar Harbor, we have a
lot of contact time. Usually it's in weekly meetings and also with the local project sponsor from Acadia National Park. I also go
out in the field and work with them and I'm available to work with them at any time during that period as needed. There could be
as much contact time as a student group needs but, ultimately, the students are driving the project. They develop their own
ideas and I encourage them to solve their own problems.
