>This pioneer program will focus on fostering a sense of innovation 
>and autonomy in young students by allowing them to determine their 
>course of study during the week of the program. Students will 
>ultimately focus on one investigation which they will showcase at 
>the Innovators Expo. However, multiple branches of science will be 
>explored throughout the program through extension activities.

>A unique component of NFB Project Innovation is how it will serve 
>two age groups simultaneously. The first of these two groups will be 
>comprised of students in grades 3-6 (ages 7-11).  This group, called 
>Junior Innovators, will stay at the NFBJI for three days, July 
>25-29.** Twenty blind students will be accepted into this group.
>
>The high school students, called Senior Innovators, will serve as 
>junior advisors. Students in grades 9-12 (ages 14-18) are eligible 
>to apply to be a Senior Innovator.  They will not only participate 
>in this science program but will model blindness skills, scientific 
>investigation skills, and techniques to their younger counterparts. 
>The Senior Innovators will stay at the NFBJI for four days, July 
>24-29, 2012.**  Ten blind students will be accepted into this group.
