Hi All,

This sounds like an incredible opportunity for a high school student interested 
in STEM subjects. Prof. Cardinal Warde who is a tenured professor at MIT is one 
of our Board of Advisor members and he is one of the founders of this 
organization. Pass it on!

All the best,

Lisa

Dear Friends of the Caribbean Science Foundation:

1. I wish to draw your attention to the opening of the application process for 
the 2013 Student Program for Innovation in Science and Engineering (SPISE) at 
our website (http://caribbeanscience.org). Please encourage high school 
students you know to apply to this program.  This is a unique opportunity for 
students with strong interest in pursuing careers in science and engineering to 
spend 4 weeks of total immersion in STEM in Barbados this summer (all expenses 
paid).  Student applicants must be at least 16 years of age but less than 18 
years of age on July 1, 2013, and have completed CXC exams or equivalent in 
math and science subjects.  The SPISE 2013 will run from July 20 to August 17, 
2013, and will be held again at the UWI-Cave Hill campus in Barbados, with UWI 
and CXC providing critical resources and support.   Please see videos of last 
year's program, application forms for students, teaching assistants and 
instructors, and be sure to read the frequently asked questions (FAQs) at 
http://caribbeanscience.org.  The application deadline is April 22, 2013.

2.  I also wish to alert you that project entries for the Sagicor Visionaries 
Challenge are due on February 16, 2013.  Please encourage secondary/high school 
students that you know to submit poster entries. In this competition, students 
form teams to propose solutions to a problem in their school or community using 
science and technology.   This competition is in its first year and is open to 
schools in 12 Caribbean Countries – Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, 
Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, 
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad & Tobago.  There are prizes and 
trips for the winners at the National and Regional levels!  See 
http://sagicorvisionaries.org/site for details (Challenge description, 
competition rules and application forms, etc).  A summary of the Sagicor 
Visionaries Challenge is also available at http://caribbeanscience.org

We would very much appreciate your help in spreading the word that applications 
are now being accepted for SPISE 2013 and that poster entries are being 
accepted for the Sagicor Visionaries Challenge.  Please forward this e-mail to 
students, teachers, principals, guidance counselors, family and friends.  We 
thank you in advance for your assistance.

With Warmest Regards,

Cardinal
