“this Friday, more than 40 students will come to our Nation's Capital to receive top honors in the 1996 ExploraVision Awards Program, sponsored by Toshiba and administered by the National Science Teachers Association [NSTA]. The ExploraVision Awards Program is the largest K-12 student science competition in the world. The competition asks students to work in teams to use their imaginations to envision what technology will be like 20 years from now. As a longstanding member of the House Science Committee, I have worked hard to improve science education in this country. The competition is just one great example of a successful business-education partnership that encourages students to pursue careers in science. I have been supporting this outstanding program since its launch in 1992. The ExploraVision Awards give students the opportunity to identify future technological needs and develop the kind of technological thinking our society needs in order to meet the challenges of the future. I am proud to recognize the achievements of this year's winners and proud to be the honorary cochairperson of the 1996 ExploraVision Awards weekend.”
