Participating in the FYM event was for sure an enriching experience! Talking with the students was fun and very interesting. It was truly an exchange of experiences and I encourage all of my fellow scientists to share their knowledge and explain their research to young people!

– João Aguiar

In the Frontiers for Young Minds Zone, students read your Frontiers for Young Minds paper, and then get to question you further you in Chats! Think of it like a viva. By WhatsApp.

Students’ follow up questions need answers. You can help them go beyond the paper and dive deeper into their STEM subjects!

Running in 2024.
