    CERN is located in Geneva and is “an organization for research trying to answer the most fundamental questions that humanity ever asked themselves, Where do we come from? Where are we going? What is the future of the universe?” It is an elite science research center that employs the brightest minds in the world. The overarching goals of these geniuses is to work together to identify frontiers of knowledge and pinpoint the origins of the universe.

    Fifteen finalists will fly to Mountain View California for a chance to become a finalist winner in their age category (13-14, 15-16, and 17-18) and move on to compete for the Grand Prize. The grand prize is a National Graphic Expedition for the winner and one guardian to the Galapagos Archipelago where they will visit Darwin’s Living Laboratory. Darwin’s Living Laboratory is an amazing zoo, aquarium, and underwater adventure all wrapped into one that allows guests to have close encounters with unique species like domed giant tortoises.
