• Science for all

  The theme "Science for All" serves as an umbrella for ideas and strategies to mitigate academic achievement gaps associated with ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, physical disabilities, limited English-language ability, and learning differences.
  Science For All in the news, on the web, from the TST archives, and in the books.

• Mount Washington Valley Science Fair

• Northern New England (ME, NH, VT) Junior Science & Humanities Symposium

  The Junior Science and Humanities Program (JSHS) was established in 1958 to increase the number of highly trained scientists and engineers in the United States by promoting research and experimentation at the secondary school level and by recognizing high school students for their original research achievements. Since that time JSHS has become one of the most prominent pre-college programs in the country. JSHS is sponsored by the United States Department of the Army, the United States Department of the Navy, and the United States Department of the Air Force. The Academy of Applied Science, a non-profit educational organization in Concord, New Hampshire, administers the National JSHS Program. The Northern New England Regional JSHS at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) is co-operatively sponsored by the College of Engineering and Physical Science and the College of Life Science and Agriculture.
  About 10,000 high school students and teachers participate in forty-eight regional symposia which are held at universities and other educational institutions throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and the Department of Defense schools in Europe and the Pacific. High school students may participate as observers or presenters of research they have conducted. The program year culminates at the National Symposium which brings together 240 high school students, their teachers, university faculty and other educators and scientists.
  JSHS is an approved program of the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) and has been placed on the National Advisory List of Contests and Activities.
  The major activities of the Northern New England and Southern New England Junior Science & Humanities Symposia are to conduct a program in which high school students can present the results of their original research in science, mathematics, and engineering in oral or poster sessions, have an opportunity to meet other students from the Northern New England and Southern New England region with similar interests in scientific research, and visit research laboratories at UNH and speak with scientists and engineers. See How to Participate.
  Up to 5 high school students and one teacher from any high school in the Northern New England states of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont and from high schools in the Southern New England states of Rhode Island and Massachusetts can attend the symposia. Registration fees, housing and planned meal functions during the symposium are covered by the symposium sponsor. Travel to and from the Symposium and personal meals or miscellaneous purchases are not covered.

• Center for Excellence in Education

  The Center for Excellence in Education was founded in 1983 by the late Admiral H.G. Rickover and Joann P. DiGennaro, President of the Center. The Center's mission is to nurture young scholars to careers of excellence and leadership in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, and to encourage collaboration among leaders in the global community. CEE sponsors the Research Science Institute (RSI) and the USA Biology Olympiad (USABO). For more information about the Center and its programs, visit CEE’s website.

• FIRST Robotics Competition for High School Students

  The best way to learn about organizing a FIRST Tech Challenge Team is to experience it! Find a local team or two and follow their progress through a season. Attending an event is a good way to experience the program for yourself. And you can meet with team leaders and students, speak with their sponsors, and the robots first-hand.
  Once you're ready to start a team, you will need to form partnerships with team mentors and sponsors. Local manufacturing and technology companies are ideal candidates for this, as are local colleges, universities and technical schools. Many local chapters of professional organizations support FIRST through volunteer help from their engineers, scientists, and technologists.

• NH Science Olympiad

• New Hampshire Envirothon

  The New Hampshire Association of Conservation Districts is seeking an individual to serve on a contract basis (approximately 10 hours per week) to manage the New Hampshire Envirothon, a high school academic competition conducted by the Association. NH Envirothon is an independent program for New Hampshire that also participates in an international level North American competition sponsored by Canon, where students on state and provincial teams compete for recognition and scholarships by demonstrating their knowledge of environmental science and natural resource management. In both the New Hampshire and the Canon Envirothon programs, teams of five high school students exercise their natural resources knowledge and problem-solving skills in competitions centered on four universal testing categories (soils/land use, aquaticecology, forestry, and wildlife), as well as an annual specific current environmental issue. Specific information on the programs may be found at nhacd.org and envirothon.org.
