What is a Student Research Symposium?
A Student Research Symposium provides an opportunity for students to showcase their original research. The PG Museum SRS provides opportunities for students in grades 6-12 to showcase different levels of scientific inquiry. We will invite a panel of reviewers to provide feedback on projects, however, this is ultimately an event for students to learn through the experience of conducting an inquiry, analyzing the data and reporting on their findings.
