BRIGHT STaRS: Bright Students Training as Research Scientists Poster Session

Session ID#: 279273

Session Description:
Middle and High school students are producing Earth, space, and ocean scientific research in summer, in-school, and after-school programs. These students are readily exposed to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) practices and are often encouraged, and involved with adults and/or scientists to investigate Earth, space, and ocean attributes including testing variables and monitoring the environment. The goal of this poster session is to give grade 6-12 students a platform to communicate their research to scientists, educators and peers to gain best practice research, and presentation skills. The science should be presented through art or poster format by the students. All science and engineering topics are Earth and Space Science related. Grade 6-12 students throughout the world are encouraged to connect with conveners in advance of the abstract deadline. The lead author on the abstract must be a Grade 6-12 student. This session is sponsored by the AGU Education section.
