Catholic University of America is hosting the 2023 Greater Washington, D.C. Regional JSHS.  The event will be held on February 25, 2023 at Catholic University’s campus in Washington, D.C. and the application deadline is January 21, 2023. JSHS is designed to challenge, engage, and publicly recognize students (Grades 9-12) conducting research in the sciences, 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. Opportunities for career exploration, research lab visits, peer discussions, and networking are planned. By participating in regional and national symposia, students may:

• Participate in a forum honoring individual achievement in STEM.

• Network with peers who have similar interests. 

• Hear research presentations by other students.

• Develop skills to help prepare for undergraduate and graduate pursuits in STEM

• Hear nationally renowned scientists speak on their work. 

• Qualify for significant scholarships and other recognition.
