The Strength and Flexibility of Oscar Pistorius The Strength and Flexibility of Oscar Pistorius South African sprinter Oscar Pistorius is the first double-amputee athlete to compete at the Olympics. At the 2012 Summer Olympics, Pistorius will race in the 400 meter race and 4x400 meter relay using a pair of carbon fiber prosthetic legs engineered to store and release energy from the impact of his strides. "Science of the Summer Olympics" is a 10-part video series produced in partnership with the National Science Foundation.

2013 Health Engineering 2013 Health Engineering It is hard to imagine what the world would be like without modern medicine. Doctors today have a wealth of tools at their disposal to combat human suffering. From complex robotic surgical suites that enable surgeons to operate on patients thousands of miles away to simple storage mechanisms for vaccines in the developing world, engineering and technology are central to the way we fight disease. There have been many successes on the road to a healthier planet, but many battles are still left to fight.
Palantir Scholarship for Women in Technology Palantir Scholarship for Women in Technology , and technical studies and become leaders in their fields. Scholarship recipients will be invited to visit one of the Planatir offices for a full-day workshop to learn about their work, see demos of their products, and meet Palantirians. All scholarship recipients are awarded grants of up to $10,000 to support their education. Palantir offers scholarships to support students from underrepresented groups in STEM who are beginning careers in technology, including the Women in Technology Scholarship. They hope to encourage students to pursue computer science, engineering
Cornell University CURIE Academy Cornell University CURIE Academy Cornell University's Curie Academy is a one-week residential program for high school girls who excel in math and science.
