Now more than ever, students are challenged to expand their learning in order to successfully compete and excel in today’s rapidly changing world—where there is a premium on knowledge, invention, and innovation. The Science and Technology Series is inspired by the daily advances in technology that affect our lives in countless ways. In these one-day programs, students and parents explore aspects of technology and science through hands-on workshops led by pioneering scientists, mathematicians, and researchers. Past themes for the series have included Nanoscale Science and Engineering, Biotechnology, Space and Astronomy, and Marine Biology. The Fall 2008 - Spring 2009 Science and Technology Series themes of Energy and the Environment and Robotics have now concluded. Please stay tuned for the announcement of themes, dates, and locations for our Fall 2009 - Spring 2010 series, coming this summer. The typical Science and Technology program runs from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., beginning with a morning keynote address followed by specially designed workshops and presentations in which scientists share their research and experience. For part of the day, adults may explore the theme of the program in separate, concurrent sessions specifically designed for CTY parents. Families will reconnect for lunch and again at the conclusion of the program, to share their experiences from the day’s activities. Whenever possible, campus tours or college information sessions will be available at the conclusion of the program. Continental breakfast and lunch are provided. Registration Information
