\u201cWho among us has not experienced fatigue after a long day at school, after exams, after the many extracurricular activities? When this sets in, regardless of how hard you try to concentrate, you probably find yourself exhausted. Why is this? Is your brain actually getting tired in the same way your other muscles do? And is there any difference between mental fatigue and good old exhaustion? The answers to these questions and the key to \u201cphysical and mental drain\u201d require some serious science, and this program will give us the opportunity to explore it through experiments, models and hands-on activities.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Upcoming events for gifted and talented students include the Ethics Olympiad, the Da Vinci Decathlon and Thriving Minds. Invitations will be sent out shortly.<\/span><\/p>\n
