Abstract

ΓΑΒ LAB (the Knowledge and Uncertainty Research Laboratory at the Uni-versity of Peloponnese) is designing and implementing Argolida’s Next Top Scientist (ANTS), a history of science program for minority students. ANTS draws on the biographies of celebrated scientists such as Albert Einstein and Marie Skłodowska Curie to empower students that are often found ostracized by both school and society. In a sense, the program uses the history of sci-ence as a tool to foster the future of science.
