50th Monmouth Junior Science Symposium
March 29 & 30, 2012
Monmouth University
West Long Branch, NJ
The primary goal of the Monmouth Junior Science Symposium (MJSS) is to promote research and experimentation in the sciences, engineering, and mathematics at the high school level, and to publicly recognize students for outstanding achievement. The two-day event includes presentations from New Jersey high school students on their individual science research projects. Schools are welcome to register and attend as observers.
Following the presentations at Monmouth University on March 31, 2011, all students and their teachers are invited to attend the MJSS Poster Presentation and also view interactive displays made available by the Communication-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Naval Weapons Station Earle and Picatinny Arsenal. A science based scavenger hunt will be held during this general poster session where students compete for ribbons, gift certificates, etc. The students whose papers have been selected for presentation (Monmouth University) or poster presentation at the MJSS Banquet (Gibbs Hall, Tinton Falls) will be notified January 2011. Papers not selected for the above will be invited to participate in the MJSS General Poster Session (Anacon Hall, Monmouth University) March 31, 2011. General Poster Session participation will be limited to no more than four posters per each participating school.
