27 Oct Pinhead: Celebrate 2015 Interns Wednesday
The Pinhead Institute invites the Telluride community to celebrate its 2015 interns. Event at the Sheridan Opera House is scheduled for Wednesday, October 28, 6 – 7 p.m. Refreshments and presentations. Free and open to the community.
Founded in 2003, the Pinhead Internship Program provides students with opportunities to gain practical skills and experience in various scientific fields of study, including (but not limited to) math, physics, conservation, chemistry, and biology.
Pinhead accomplishes its goal of enrichment education by placing regional students from Nucla, Norwood, Telluride, Ridgway and Ouray high schools at renowned scientific institutions for six-10 weeks. There, the young people work with leading researchers on critical issues facing the world today: biodiversity, indigenous cultures, influenza study, sustainability, habitat loss, and climate change.
Pinhead’s Internship Program is clearly a life-changing experience.
