Future Advancers of Science and Technology (FAST)
Develop life-long learners and support students in pursuing their passions and curiosities for fulfilling careers
Stanford graduate students mentor Future Advancers of Science and Technology (FAST) toward achieving their goals of answering open questions in science and engineering clever solutions to problems in their society. High school students (grades 9-12) of Andrew P. Hill and James Lick high schools (in East San Jose) meet with Stanford PhD students during afternoons of two Saturdays each month. The goal is to brainstorm projects and carry out experiments / build prototypes between September and February. In late January through March, high school students present their work at local science fairs, state science fairs, and at a symposium at Stanford University.
