Subject: Summer School of Science
2012 - Applications
Please
forward to relevant addresses (high school students, high school
teachers, parents...)
This Summer School has made a huge positive impact on its participants, and it
would be great to spread that influence further.
Thank you so much, Kristina
Each
year, a group of young scientists organizes a summer school in a picturesque
village Visnjan near the Croatian coast aimed at high-school students with
strong interest in science. Working in small groups on a specific project,
participants learn and practice the scientific method and analysis, invaluable
skills in their later careers. In addition to exploring science, these camps
are an excellent opportunity to find inspiration and share enthusiasm for
discovery with like-minded individuals. Project work is accompanied by evening
lectures from eminent scientists and workshops aimed to put science in a wider
social context. One day is reserved for an excursion to explore cultural and
natural heritage of the region.
For
2012, we have gathered an international team of young scientists from
The
Summer School of Science is divided into two camps, S3 for students who are
completing the 9th or 10th grade (from the 23th July to the 30th July) and S3++
for students who are completing the 11th or 12th grade (from the 1st to the
10th August). The official language of the School is English and the school is
open to the high-school students from all over the world.
Motivated
students should consult the Internet page of the School http://s3.sci.hr/ for a complete list of projects
and to download the application form. Applications are open until May 1st 2012.
A selected number of applicants will be invited for a telephone interview in
mid May.
