The Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (JSHS) introduces students in grades 8-12 to research and experimentation and the importance of research in human affairs. JSHS provides students an opportunity to conduct an original research project, report their findings and visit research facilities. Students interested in Science, Mathematics, or Engineering, can develop their own investigation and share their findings with other students from throughout DoDDS-Pacific/DDESS-Guam. 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 presenters travel to the United States where they compete on the national level.
One hundred and twenty-five DODDS-Pacific/DDESS-Guam students met at Tsukuba City, just north of Tokyo, for the JSHS March 25, 2007. Two students were selected to attend the National JSHS in April in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The JSHS will remain at its present location for next school year.
The Pacific Junior Science and Humanities Symposium is a rewarding academic activity and a great introduction to the world of scientific research.
