VIRTUAL CONFERENCE

AUGUST 3-6, 2020

REGISTRATION CLOSES JULY 31, 2020 AT 11:59 PM EST

WHAT IS YOUTH SCIENCE CONNECTION?

Youth Science Connection is an online platform that allows high school students to complete science projects at home under the virtual guidance of a college mentor. Through the program high school students will come up with a project that they can do at home, write a scientific research proposal, and make a scientific poster. Youth Science Connection provides a way for high school students to engage with the scientific method at their own pace while also getting to speak to an undergraduate student who can give perspective on what it is like to be a STEM major. In addition, our program takes place entirely online so students can learn and receive mentoring while still engaging in social distancing.

CONFERENCE POSTER SESSIONS

YSC POSTER SESSIONS

The projects from the YSC Summer 2020 Cohort will be viewable through Google Slides from August 3rd at 6 PM until August 6th at 8 PM.
