NETSCI HIGH 2010/2011

The first year of the NetSci High program was run as a competition of high school research posters. Seven student projects were conducted through collaboration between participating high schools and their local research labs in New York City, Boston, and Binghamton. Their posters were reviewed by the Scientific Committee, and the students and teachers of the two winning posters were supported to attend the NetSci 2011 conference in Budapest, Hungary, on June 6 - 10, 2011. All of the seven posters were presented at the poster sessions of the conference. The posters were also displayed at the Eighth International Conference on Complex Systems in Boston on June 26 - July 1, 2011.
