Overview
There is a global shortage of young people entering science-related fields, and Abbott is working to overcome it. One of our signature programs, Operation Discovery, focuses on students and teachers in the middle-school years, leveraging Abbott’s expertise in innovative research and development. The program brings students to an Abbott facility, where our scientists serve as mentors and role models, guiding the students through hands-on lab experiments using the same tools and procedures that Abbott scientists use in their daily work. Evaluations of the program in China, Ireland and Singapore revealed that students participating in Operation Discovery showed significantly increased interest in studying science and pursuing scientific careers.
