NKS Summer School
Every year, Wolfram and his group of instructors organizes a summer school. The first four summer schools from 2003 to 2006 were held at Brown University. Later the summer school was hosted by the University of Vermont at Burlington with the exception of the year 2009 that was held at the Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell’Informazione of the CNR in Pisa, Italy. After seven consecutive summer schools more than 200 people have participated, some of whom continued developing their 3-week research projects as their Master's or Ph.D theses. Some of the research done in the summer school has resulted in publications.

Famous quotes containing the words summer and/or school:
“Over the threshold
Nothing like death stepped, nothing like death paused,
Nothing like death has such hair, arms so raised.
Why are your feet bare? Was not death to come?
Why is he not here? What summer have you broken from?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
