 Turn them on to the Girl Genius webcomic. It is entertaining, well
written, and artfully drawn, and glorifies science.  Well, MAD science,
but it's a start.  It just won some awards. It is safe for younger folks
- there's a warning, but the least-dressed character is wearing
substantially more than most swimsuits.

One of my favorite time-wasters (at home).

With respect to the statement "Indeed, pupils in many secondary schools
in the USA , especially boys, would rather become sports heros or rock
stars  than scientists." that is understandable given the emphasis the
emphasis on  physical rather than 
intellectual accomplishments and the perceived glory.   However, the
secondary school
pupils should also be taught about the number of  positions available
and the probability for success.  There are probably  only about 3-4,000
'professional athletes and rock stars total - and their  average careers
are maybe 15 years for most of them.  There are more  scientists and
engineers than that is some of the DOE national labs. and in NASA  etc.
and their average careers are 40+ years.  The glamour is  attractive,
but doesn't last.
