Poster and Oral Presentations

This event is a premier opportunity for high school students to be exposed to genuine research, scholarship, peer review, scientific reading and writing, and scientific presentation at a young age before college. At the completion of the Symposium, the students will be able to leverage their own published works in demonstrating their competitive advantage as they prepare to matriculate to college!

The In Person ASDRP Semester Research Symposium and Expo showcases some of  the original scientific findings of 750+ high school student researchers who conducted research across 200+ projects in a wide array of STEM fields. Students come from throughout Bay Area, across the U.S., and internationally!

More Importantly, the scientific projects conducted by students are original research with cutting-edge results, completed on $10M+ worth of donated research equipment with highly qualified research scientists, and are not traditional “science lab” projects whose results are known. 

We invite you to join us in the beginning of a wonderful journey for these young scientists. Please come, view research posters, ask the students questions, listen to oral presentations, celebrate their accomplishments and have fun!
