"With ASRA we are able to pick up on students who have a burning desire to learn about science, or math, or technology, and take the ceiling away and let them fly. ASRA is really really amazing, because these kids are learning that everything is possible for them, and they realize there is nothing to stop them. It's neat to have these students who love to learn, love to question, think about stuff deeply, and bring them together so they can see that indeed other students in the world share their excitement about learning."

"Maybe the most important thing we can do as scientists in society is not simply sit in our laboratories and crank out data and publications, but share this widely. Not just the information, but the excitement, the joy of discovery." ~ Doug Schamel
