With approximately 24,000 attendees, AGU's Fall Meeting is the largest Earth and space science meeting in the world. Scientists from all over the world attend this meeting to share their findings with other scientists.
As a K-12 student, you have the opportunity to share your work at the meeting!
If you are or know of a K-12 student who is working on or has worked on a research or art project and would like to share it at the 2016 AGU please note the following criteria, deadlines, description and links under "Instructions for Submitting a Poster".
This is a special opportunity for students and we hope you'll consider submitting a poster abstract.

Bright STaRS: Bright Students Training as Research Scientists Poster Session
Session ID#: 14099
Session Description:
K-12 students are producing quality Earth, space and ocean scientific research in summer, in-school, and after-school programs. These students are readily exposed to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math practices and are often encouraged and involved with adults and/or scientists to investigate Earth, space and ocean attributes including testing variables and monitoring the environment. The goal of this session is to give K-12 students a platform to communicate their research to scientists, educators and peers in order to gain best practice research and presentation skills. The science should be presented through art or poster format by students themselves. K-12 students throughout the world are encouraged to connect with conveners to submit their projects well in advance of the abstract deadline. The lead author on the abstract must be a K-12 student.
Primary Convener: Jennifer Salesman, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, United States
Conveners: Janet Warburton, ARCUS, Fairbanks, AK, United States,
Elizabeth Eubanks, Teacher Researcher Experiences, Pensacola, United States and
Pranoti M Asher, American Geophysical Union, Washington, DC, United States
