Andy Bramante left his successful career as a corporate scientist to teach public high school--and now helms one of the most remarkable classrooms in America. Bramante's unconventional class at Connecticut's prestigious yet diverse Greenwich High School has no curriculum, tests, textbooks, or lectures, and is equal parts elite research lab, student counseling office, and teenage hangout spot. United by a passion to learn, Mr. B.'s band of whiz kids set out every year to conquer the brutally competitive science fair circuit. They have won the top prize at the Google Science Fair, made discoveries that eluded scientists three times their age, and been invited to the Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm. A former Emmy-winning producer for CBS News, Heather Won Tesoriero embeds in this dynamic class to bring Andy and his gifted, all-too-human kids to life--including William, a prodigy so driven that he's trying to invent diagnostics for artery blockage and Alzheimer's (but can't quite figure out how to order a bagel); Ethan, who essentially outgrows high school in his junior year and founds his own company to commercialize a discovery he made in the class; Sophia, a Lyme disease patient whose ambitious work is dedicated to curing her own debilitating ailment; Romano, a football player who hangs up his helmet to pursue his secret science expertise and develop a "smart" liquid bandage; and Olivia, whose invention of a fast test for Ebola brought her science fair fame and an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. We experience the thrill of discovery, the heartbreak of failed endeavors, and perhaps the ultimate high: a yes from Harvard. Moving, funny, and utterly engrossing, The Class is a superb account of hard work and high spirits, a stirring tribute to how essential science is in our schools and our lives, and a heartfelt testament to the power of a great teacher to help kids realize their unlimited potential"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 610 20 $a Greenwich High School (Greenwich, Conn.) 600 10 $a Bramante, Andy. 650 0 $a Science $x Study and teaching (Secondary) $z Greenwich. $z Greenwich. 650 0 $a Science teachers $z Greenwich. $z Greenwich. 650 0 $a High school students $z Greenwich. $z Greenwich. 650 0 $a Science fairs $z United States. 650 0 $a Science projects $x Competitions $z United States. 941 $a 9 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716023722.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611014347.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104015323.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012023905.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728015233.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060327.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806023935.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006121115.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180908010140.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=77AACF94B32C11E8822A2F5697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
