University of Montana hosts gifted high school students to be mentored by the best and the brightest

Exceptional teens from across the country made some tough decisions Friday afternoon on the University of Montana http://www.umt.edu/future.aspx campus.

Would you rather learn the secret to science success from six Nobel laureates or listen to the National Public Radio program "Science Friday," which is being recorded live right beneath you, with famed paleontologist Jack Horner and astronaut Bonnie Dunbar?

More than 170 of some of the country’s most promising minds made a split-second decision- Nobel laureates, please.

The University of Montana hosted the fourth Adventures of the Mind Summit from Thursday through Saturday – an event that brings together gifted high school students with accomplished mentors from all different fields.

More than 50 mentors came to Missoula for the summit, including Peter Norvig – the director of research at Google, New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast, Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker and New York Times best-selling author Amy Tan, along with seven Nobel laureates.
