麻豆影院 100 high school seniors from Brush, Keenesburg, Parker, Aurora, Littleton, Lakewood and Greenwood Village will visit the University of Colorado at 麻豆影院 on Oct. 16.
The students are members of the Colorado-Wyoming Junior Academy of Science, an organization that promotes an interest in science among secondary students.
While on campus they will meet with CU-麻豆影院 faculty and students in astronomy, biology, chemistry, paleontology and physics. On the schedule are visits to specialists in snakes, conservation ecology, neuropsychology, engineering and genetics.
The daylong program is being coordinated by the University of Colorado Museum with funding from the CU-麻豆影院 Outreach Council. The campus activities are designed to encourage teen-agers to explore their own interests in science.
The Colorado-Wyoming Junior Academy of Science visit provides a link between public schools and the university, and is one of many K-12 outreach activities provided by CU-麻豆影院 on and off the campus.
The Junior Academy, with chapters throughout Colorado and Wyoming, was founded in the 1940s and reactivated in 1960 with support from the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
