Guest STEM Research Speaker Too Be Determined

Each year we invite a researcher working in STEM in North Carolina, or who began their career in NC, to speak at our state event.

Share Your Research Room-Based Judging.

Students move into a middle or high school session room with 5-7 presenters (high school) and 6-8 presenters (middle school). A room may combine topics/categories of students with similar research problems. Parents and observers can watch sessions.

After presentations and judging, students come back to the room (or another space) to have dinner with their judges. Parents/Observers eat separately. Everyone meets together in the Barn for Awards
