New web site launched for students keen on math, science
Middle and high school students with a passion for math and science can
connect with peers around the world to learn about and discuss everything
from global warming to cold fusion through a new Web site called Cogito.org.
Cogito.org, which was spearheaded by the Johns Hopkins University's Center
for Talented Youth with feedback from bright students, is a totally free
resource for students. Key features, all developed by the site's editors
with an eye toward nurturing talent in exceptional thinkers, include:
* interviews with experts,
* experts as online topic leaders
* profiles of young scientists,
* science news, and
* directories of math and science web resources, programs, competitions,
and other academic opportunities
CTY and its partners expect the site to be a math and science home for
bright kids online and help produce a generation of young people whose math
and science skills will enable them to become leaders in their fields.
CTY's partners in developing Cogito.org include other leading centers
serving gifted students, based at Carnegie Mellon, Duke and Northwestern
universities; the universities of Denver and Iowa; the Center for Excellence
in Education; the Davidson Institute for Talent Development; and Science
Service. The development of this site was funded by the John Templeton
Foundation.
