Pioneers in Science, a signature program of the World Science Festival, seeks both to kindle excitement in high school students about the power of science to change the world for the better, and to instill a sense of enthusiasm and confidence about their own potential to make their mark through a science-based career. It offers students a one-of-a-kind immersion into the work of scientists of the highest caliber, from Nobel Laureates to presidential advisors.
The 2011 Pioneers program will host groundbreaking geneticists and humanitarians, Dr. Mary-Claire King and Dr. Eric Lander, in two individually featured, 60 minute long, sessions. As part of the program, in the weeks leading up to the festival, participating students will be immersed in the worlds of the pioneers through different school projects and curriculum. This program is FREE.
