Welcome to the official website of the Illinois Junior Academy of Science
(IJAS).  This page is designed to be both easy and informative.  On these pages,
you can check the dates and contact information for all of the regional fairs
and state competition, read the current IJAS Policy & Procedure Manual,
and see the Best of Category Abstracts. 

The aims and objectives of the Illinois Junior Academy of Science are numerous. Most 
important is the fact that the Illinois Junior Academy of Science has the interest of the science student at heart. It is an organization that exists solely for the benefit of students. It gives to students who will not necessarily become a science specialist some insight into the problems and methods of thinking that are particular to the scientist but applicable to other occupations, information concerning new investigations and discoveries in science, and an understanding of the science-produced equipment used. It encourages students with special ability and interest in science to go beyond the limits of the classroom in developing their own ideas and perhaps aiding them in their progress towards a career in science.
