Kentucky Junior Science & Humanities Symposium

2024 KY JSHS Regional Competition Date: February 17th, 2024

JSHS is designed to challenge and engage students (Grades 9-12) in science, 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 research advancement, panel discussions, career exploration, research lab visits and networking are planned. By participating in regional and national symposia, students may...

  • Participate in a forum honoring individual achievement in STEM.
  • Qualify for significant scholarships and other recognition.
  • Network to enrich understanding of STEM pursuits beyond high school.
  • Advance in statewide, regional, and national symposia
  • Develop skills to help prepare for undergraduate and graduate pursuits -- skills in the application of science content to solve a problem or to gain new knowledge, writing a paper, and communicating results.

JSHS is a collaborative effort with the research arm of the Department of Defense and administered in cooperation with nationwide colleges and universities. JSHS aims to prepare and support students to contribute as future scientists and engineers -- conducting STEM research on behalf of or directly for the Department of Defense, the Federal research laboratories, or for the greater good in advancing the nation's scientific and technological progress.
