Apply to Present!

How to Apply? 

The BLA Research Festival welcomes BPS middle and high school students in any grade with any kind of research as presenters. 

Below are some templates students could use to make posters to present (you are also welcome to present in other formats--this is meant to be open and accessible, not restrictive). 

How Do I Make a Poster?

Have questions still? 

Please reach out, and we'd be happy to help you find the best way to present your work! mdibinga@bostonpublicschools.org.

Competition (Optional)

There will be a more selective juried portion of the festival where students choose to compete to be invited to present at the Boston Area Research Initiative's conference next year. This is a great opportunity for students who are presenting academic research and want to challenge themselves. This is entirely optional and should not discourage students from participating who have other types of research to showcase!
