High School Students: Publish a conference paper in a STEM field!
Pre-College STEM research based on scientific and engineering approaches
This special session focuses on promoting research among young and talented students, primarily high schoolers who have been conducting rigorous research and are interested in publishing and presenting their research outcomes in an IEEE conference. All manuscripts submitted to this special session will go through the regular review process and will be reviewed by at least two experts in the related fields. Submissions will receive constructive criticism about their research topics and judges/reviewers will give comments to help guide young students. This special session provides young researchers with opportunities in exploring the STEM fields. One major field that this special session will focus on is the applicability of computer science and quantitative modeling to different fields, but research papers regarding any STEM field is acceptable.
