"While most people come to SIG for the academics portion, most people keep coming back for the experience and opportunity to meet kids from all over the world, with different backgrounds but same positive and intellectual curiosity. There is no other program that comes even close to that. My daughter and I love the SIG program."

"The students leave the the program learning so much and just gaining the confidence and pride to excel that they don't always get in school. I loved my son's final project on wormholes and the theory of time travel! I couldn't believe how much he learned about physics."
