The primary aims of JSHS are to promote original research and experimentation in science, engineering, and mathematics at the high school level, and to recognize students for outstanding achievement publicly. The JSHS provides a forum for high school students to present the results of their original research. Students participating in the Symposia can also meet and exchange ideas, interact with practicing researchers, and explore future academic and career opportunities.
