The Rocket Boys of NIH Cartoon

Stick figures from the Rocket Boys of NIH cartoon are smiling: One boy is in a wheel chair and the other holds a little rocket. Text in the image reads The Rocket Boys of NIH Cartoon: See How Kids and Science Can Soar.

See the true story of two kids launched into a scientific adventure after getting a “grant” from the National Institutes of Health in 1957.

We designed this video to engage young people in science and show the powerful way NIH advances science and health.
