It can be harder, later on, to find people who tell you that... some jobs can, as can some graduate programs, often in more specific ways, and with more specifics ideas about the outcomes. Still, the Bronx science alums out there can accomplish things the high schoolers dn't have the subtlety for, yet... like the site in your latest post. And, you know, there are people who will encourage and collaborate from different areas, with different skills, and build the whole floating lab from scratch, and they seem to be everywhere. Maybe Scripting News is right; maybe symposiums are graftable close to home. It's a good question, anyway.

Not sure it really meets all your requirements, but something to think about as a key to their success.

Not kidding about that. A deliberate attempt to congregate creative people in a collaborative fashion is something worth pursuing, now that we have an Internet. Virtual connections just don’t cut it.  [...] [...] Ethan Zuckerman, a former colleague at Berkman, on a yesterday’s outline of a “Bronx Science for Adults.” Maybe this should be a Berkman spinoff.
