2019 Research Symposium

At the end of each Research Academy, students and their parents, as well as faculty and staff, meet at the Research Symposium. It is here that students have the opportunity to present their work in a similar manner to a real world science research symposium. The competitive event consists of student developed research posters and presentations. Judges are selected among staff, not involved in the Academy, from San Antonio and Palo Alto Colleges, and UIW.
