 For high school students interested in science, Science
 Quest is a great opportunity to visit the UMass campus,
 engage in hands-on science activities and demonstrations,
 and see presentations by UMass faculty members.  Students
 can discover how nanoscale devices and materials are made,
 or how a crumpled piece of paper can help explain
 principles of energy and matter.  Or, they may choose a
 mini-course on the political as well as technological
 aspects of modern energy sources such as biofuels, solar
 energy and fuel cells.  Also a panel of UMass undergraduate
 science students will discuss what it is like to be a
 science major at UMass, and a group of students will
 discuss their brand new iCons program.  
 
 The event is FREE.  Each attendee must register
 individually to choose their own agenda.  Students may
 attend on their own, with a parent, or as part of a school
 group with a teacher.  TEACHERS ARE WELCOME TO BRING THEIR
