Get involved! Families
Is your child, or another young person you know, a good fit for this program? Join our mailing list to keep informed of upcoming dates for the ArtScience Prize (including registration times and the fall kick-off event).
Program participants must be enrolled in a Boston Public High School. Our ideal candidates are students who will begin their junior or senior year in fall 2009. We're looking for students who have some interest in the arts, sciences, entrepreneurship, or simply those who want to explore creative ideas. Perhaps your child is interested in these fields already, or maybe he/she is looking for an after-school experience that is completely unique.
