The purpose of our Science Fusion series is to stimulate youth interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) careers. The Science Fusion events expose youth to real professionals with whom they can identify. Up to three students with exceptional achievement in or passion for a STEM discipline will be honored at each event: Asian Americans in Science, African Americans in Science, American Indians in Science, and Amantes de la Ciencia.

Criteria for selection:

1. Only one student per nominator will be eligible for selection as a finalist.
2. Only middle-school and high-school students are eligible.
3. Achievement may be school-based or outside of school; nominators may be teachers or STEM professionals.

Travel allowance is available for students who live more than 100 miles from the museum.

The 2012 Science Fusion events, event dates, and nomination deadlines are:

All nominators will be notified of the results one week after each deadline has passed. The three finalists must attend the Science Fusion event for which they were nominated. They will be honored at the Presenters' Brunch, 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. and will take part in science-fair-style chats with visitors from 1-2 p.m. Each finalist will also receive a free one-year household membership to the Science Museum of Minnesota and a check for $100.
