This October, the D.C. area's best and brightest scientists will donate their time to educate and engage local students in the wonders of science. Scientists will visit classrooms, work with teachers, participate in special assemblies and conduct hands-on experiments with students.

Sponsors and participants in Meet the Scientist expect that relationships forged between scientific organizations and schools will extend well past October of 2009. The project's goal is to test the event in Washington, D.C. and use what is learned to develop a nationwide effort.
