High Schoolers Crack Cola’s Secret Formula in Prague – You Can Too!

Imagine spending your summer break extracting DNA from ticks, unraveling the secrets of plant photosynthesis at the nano level, or decoding the chemical mysteries hidden in your favorite soda.

Sounds like science fiction? Not at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague!

Ranked 53rd worldwide in agricultural sciences, this prestigious university is throwing open its lab doors to high school students for an unforgettable scientific adventure. But hurry – only a handful of spots remain for the “Hands-on Science” program running August 12-15, 2024.

“We’re not talking about your typical summer school here,” grins Martin Opatrný, the program coordinator. “This is a chance to get your hands dirty – sometimes literally – with real, cutting-edge science. Our students will be doing things most people don’t get to try until graduate school!”

Picture yourself:

• Trekking through Prague’s nature reserves, hunting for ticks (don’t worry, we provide repellent!)
• Using a portable PCR machine that looks straight out of a sci-fi movie to detect pathogens
• Playing “plant detective” on the university farm, uncovering the hidden diversity in what others might call weeds
• Becoming a food chemist for a day, analyzing the secret formulas of popular sodas

But it’s not all work and no play. Between experiments, you’ll be exploring the stunning city of Prague, making friends from around the world, and getting a taste of university life.

“We’re welcoming students from all corners of the globe – China, USA, India, and beyond,” Opatrný shares with evident enthusiasm. “But what truly excites us is our track record. For five consecutive years, we’ve had a 100% recommendation rate from our alumni. Many of them tell us that this program played a crucial role in shaping their future career decisions.”

His eyes light up as he continues, “That’s the real magic of Hands-on Science. We’re not just teaching; we’re inspiring. We’re helping young minds discover their passion and potential in science. Seeing a student find their calling – that’s what makes all our hard work worthwhile.”
