The APA Center for Gifted Education Policy (CGEP), started an initiative addressing the needs of high school students who are deeply interested in social science disciplines and have already demonstrated outstanding abilities in these areas. CGEP has hosted several meetings with representatives from various social science disciplines and local educators in preparation for the event.

Objectives:

• To increase students' existing interests in the social sciences
• To serve students who have a deep interest in the social sciences and have already demonstrated high ability, experience, and motivation
• To show gifted students how the different social sciences approach a phenomenon
• To offer a selective program for students and teachers who are seeking intellectual stimulation in the social sciences
• To encourage dialogue and collaboration among eminent scholars, teachers, and high school students
