Science Symposium

Last modified: May 17, 2012

Each year HSTA students are required to complete a research project. Students submit their ideas in early November using the Document 1 form. After approved, the student can then begin their research. Once the project is completed students submit an abstract and presentation form for inclusion in a listing of all the projects in the area. Finally, these ongoing projects culminate in the annual Science Symposium where students from the region's clubs present their research to a panel of judges. Students from across the region, as well as teachers, family members, and community members are present for the presentations.
