Welcome to the Frontiers of Science Institute (FSI)
FSI Helps Students Define Their Interests!
Exposure to science professionals, industrial laboratories, field trips to sites of scientific interest and interaction with peers who have similar interests make the FSI experience avaluable incentive to students. FSI's most popular destinations include: Seagate Technology, Swift Ponds, Fort St. Vrain Power Plant, Cherokee Generating Station, Adolph Coors Brewery, CSU's Microbiology, Little Shop of Physics, Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Biology & Veterinary ScienceLabs, Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP), Pawnee National Grasslands, Colorado School of Medicine, Fitzsimons Life Science District, Premier Laboratory, Nat'l Jewish Medical Center and South Dakota's Mount Rushmore, Mammoth Site, Jewel Cave NationalPark & Wind Cave Nat'l Monument.
FSI's primary goal is to provide students with authentic, engaging experiences to stimulate their knowledge, skills, and interest in STEM subjects. Additionally, FSI students are challenged to build their self-confidence and ability and to initiate their future academic and professional planning. Students benefit from experiences where they step outside their comfort zones, realize important societal roles they can fill, and pursue their most ambitious goals. [more. . .]
