Cape's Corbin Hudson to attend future science and technology leader conference

Corbin Hudson of Rehoboth Beach will attend the Congress of Future Science and Technology Leaders June 28 to 30 in Boston. Hudson is a junior at Cape Henlopen High School.

The congress is an honors-only program for high school students who are passionate about science, technology, engineering or mathematics. The purpose of this event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the top students in the country who aspire to be scientists and technologists, to stay true to their dream and, after the event, to provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goal.

Based on his academic achievement, leadership potential and passion for science and technology, Hudson was nominated to represent Cape Henlopen High School by astronaut Buzz Aldrin, science director of the National Academy of Future Scientists and Technologists.

During the three-day congress, Hudson will join students from across the country and hear Nobel laureates and National Medal of Science winners talk about leading scientific research; be given advice from deans of the world's top tech universities; be inspired by fellow teen science prodigies; and learn about cutting-edge advances and the future of science and technology.

"This is a crucial time in America when we need more nimble-minded and creative scientists and technologists who are even better prepared for a future that is changing exponentially,” said Richard Rossi, executive director, National Academy of Future Scientists and Technologists. “Focused, bright and determined students like Corbin Hudson are our future, and he deserves all the mentoring and guidance we can give him.”
