The Davidson Institute is dedicated to supporting the education of highly gifted scholars through online middle and high school classes, a brick and mortar high school, advocacy support, online forums, fellowships, local and national events and more. We recently attended the Physics and Engineering festival at Texas A & M with about 50 other Davidson families. We were offered private events specifically for our scholars including hands-on demonstrations and speeches by professors and lab and cyclotron tours. We are planning to attend the annual Young Scholars Summit this summer in Reno, Nevada. For more information about becoming a Davidson Scholar or to access their amazing amount of articles about gifted issues, visit davidsongifted.org.
