For more than 60 years, Connecticut has held a regional symposium as part of the national Junior Science and Humanities Symposia (JSHS) program.<\/p>\n<p>CT JSHS is designed to challenge and engage students (grades 9-12) in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM). Individual students compete for scholarships and recognition by presenting the results of their original research efforts before a panel of judges and an audience of their peers. In addition to applying to present their research in oral or poster format, participants can also register to attend as \"observers\" with an opportunity to provide feedback on the presentations, take part in a humanities activity, and perhaps prepare to be a competitor in a future year.<\/p>\n<p>Past participants have often said that CT JSHS was the formative experience that launched them on a rewarding STEM career path, and STEM professionals have frequently expressed astonishment at the high level of student accomplishment demonstrated at CT JSHS. We hope you will join us!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The in-person symposium will be held at UConn Health on Saturday, February 27, 2027, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>PHIG (Public Health Infrastructure Grant) Community Resiliency Project presentation participants should arrive by 7:30 a.m.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Online judging will be held Saturday, February 20, 2027 (invitation only).<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>An online STEM Poster Exhibition (non-competitive) will take place during the week leading up to the event, February 22 through 26, 2027.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>An online presenters' workshop will be held on Saturday, February 6, 2027 (all presenters are invited).<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Each high school may select a delegation of up to 10 students to register to participate in the symposium. A chaperone is required for each student delegation.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>There is no charge to attend.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Note: A school <strong>chaperone is required<\/strong> to accompany attendees under the age of 18; if unavailable, a parent\/guardian can serve as a chaperone.
