Junior Science and Humanities Symposium / SY 2008-2009



The Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (JSHS) introduces students in grades 8-12 to scientific research and experimentation. The program emphasizes the importance of research in human affairs. JSHS provides students an opportunity to conduct original research, and report on their findings. JSHS participants visit research facilities and have an opportunity to interact with professional scientists.Students interested in Science, Mathematics, or Engineering, can develop their own investigation and share their findings with other students from throughout DoDEA Pacific. Presentations are given in original research project and formal poster categories.

Entries are judged, and awards and scholarships are given to top presenters.  The top three oral presenters travel to the United States where they compete on the national level.

One-hundred and six (106) DoDEA Pacific students met at Tsukuba City, just north of Tokyo, for the JSHS from 22-26 March, 2008. Three students were selected to attend the National JSHS in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The 2010 Pacific JSHS took place in Tsukuba City from 14-18 March.

The Pacific Junior Science and Humanities Symposium is a rewarding academic activity and a great introduction to the world of scientific research.  To learn more about JSHS visit http://www.jshs.org .
