We try to serve a wide range of kids' needs, future scientists as well as kids who just want to try it out.

Kids that do well often have more connections than kids who didn't have connections. Sometimes it's just an email mentor to bounce ideas off of.

There are lots of different stories where kids are really thinking about their own lives and interests. The idea is not all kids may become scientists, but all kids will be impacted by science.

Let's say the kids are studying black holes. Through videoconferencing, the teacher could hook up the kids with NASA scientists. They can ask them questions.

The grant is allowing experts in U.S. and Thailand to train future scientists in Thailand to be better equipped to address the challenges of malaria. Hopefully, the preliminary work they are doing will help us obtain additional research grants and further our work.

It depends on the schedule of our needs, which take priority. Liability issues mean waivers must be signed every time the unit is used. An NPPD employee must be on the site at all times.
