What is NYSI?
National Youth Science Initiative is a free, student-organized program designed to encourage middle students and rising 9th-graders to become exposed to the breadth of science. Over five days, students attend intensive classes in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Earth & Space Science, taught by experienced high school students and guided by structured problem sets. The week culminates in a Science ARML/Bowl-style tournament on the final day (varies for each chapter)!
