CBS4, Colorado School of Mines, and PDC Energy have teamed up to create Future Leaders. Every month in the school year, this initiative recognizes exceptional high school students in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). CBS4’s meteorologist, Ashton Altieri joins the show to explain how students can be nominated (hint: it’s super easy) and shares what past Future Leaders have done, such as inventing an Agriculture Soil Probe Rover. These students are so smart it’ll blow your mind and make you look up many words. Learn more and nominate someone you know at cbsdenver.com/futureleaders.
