Date: March 30 Monday and March 31 Tuesday Regional at the University of Wyoming
National for top five presenters April 29 to May 3 at
The U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colorado
This spring of 2009
JSHS is funded by the Army, Navy and Air
Force of the United States of America in order to encourage high school students,
grades 9 to 12, to enter college level studies
in science and engineering. The students involved come from 48 regions from
all parts of the United States, territories, and overseas military base high
schools.
The JSHS
gives high school students the opportunity to present
their scientific research work in front of an audience in much the same way
as they would at a professional science meeting. With only slides, overhead,
Power Point or backboard they let the audience know what they have done in their
chosen research area.
The time and place
for symposium: 8 A.M. Tuesday March 31, 2008 at the Hampton Inn (www.hamptoninn.com) near the campus of the University
of Wyoming in Laramie, Wyoming.
There will be only one presentation session (no concurrent sessions) and the number of presenters will limited to a maximum of eighteen. Submitted papers will be evaluated and the presenters chosen from among them.
The following will be paid by your JSHS:
Rooms- Monday night and Tuesday night. [For student
speakers, chaperons (teachers, parents, etc.), and, if space permits, guest
student observers.]
Meals- Breakfast and lunch Tuesday and Wednesday,
Dinner Tuesday. [For student speakers, chaperons (teachers, parents, etc.),

To be accepted: The student must submit
a paper describing the science
project the student wishes to present by Friday, March 6, 2009. The paper is best sent to me in an email as a Microsoft Word file (rpgeorge@uwyo.edu), but if necessary may come in another format or by postal mail or fax. If you have trouble meeting the deadline, call me at the number below.
