brings together young scientists to discuss concepts and ideas with experts from a wide range of disciplines.
This year's 37 high school student participants from Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota were selected from
more than 200 students who presented oral and written results of their research investigation at regional and state levels.
Students presented research findings to an audience of about 340 people, including their peers, volunteers, teachers,
advisors, family members and judges from academia, government and industry. In addition to the paper presentations at
Macalester, event highlights included the popular Breakfast with the Scientists where students had the opportunity to
ask questions and explore career options with working scientists At the Student Choice Award Poster Sessions, the young
scientists got to select their own favorites in categories ranging from best research to most likely to win a Nobel
Prize. The program also included a visit to the Minnesota Science Museum, a MAS educational partner.
