Wyoming Student Selected to Attend National Youth Science Camp

According to information from the Wyoming Department of Education, Danielle Jones has been selected to represent Wyoming at the 2021 National Youth Science Camp. Jones will graduate in May from Thunder Basin High School in Gillette and was selected by Governor Mark Gordon to attend the camp.

The National Youth Science Foundation cancelled the in-residence portion of the 2021 National Youth Science Camp. Held in West Virginia since 1963, this is only the third time that the annual program has not been held in the Mountain State. One hundred eight delegates representing the United States, Mexico, and Trinidad and Tobago will, however, have the opportunity to connect from home for an exclusive virtual program.

The 2021 Virtual NYSCamp features a lecture series, directed studies, breakout seminars, special events, and a panel discussion with STEM policy experts. Support from the National Youth Science Foundation allows delegates to attend the NYSCamp program free of charge.
