At a time when American teens lag far behind other countries in math and science, this coming-of-age documentary tells the story of three remarkably different yet equally passionate 17-year-old scientists who vie to compete in the nation's oldest, most prestigious science competition. Win or lose, these ‘whiz kids’ raise questions about class, courage, personal sacrifice, success and failure, and in the process, learn as much about themselves as they do about science. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Tom Shephard and a tour of the Exploratorium science exhibits.
