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 Croatia, Austria, Israel, Serbia, France and USA. They are devoted to scientific and personal excellence as they teach through passion using a personalized approach to every student. In an open and informal atmosphere, students and their mentors work together, creating long-lasting relationships that not only help their individual careers, but also promote international and intercultural understanding.

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.
