What is CABS?

This site will help high school students and teachers find original, independent science research topics and questions that can be done without a professional lab...these can be done in a school lab or even in one's basement! The project ideas and research questions being developed and presented here have been vetted and could lead to true discoveries, and not just finding already known results. See our Welcome message. These are the types of projects that could be done and submitted to high school contests such as the Regeneron Science Talent Search, Junior Science and Humanities Symposium, or the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, and be competitive. If you have an idea to share, or a question about one of the project ideas, contact us at vondracekm@eths202.org.

Pages (on the right side of the screen) have lists of ideas for different types of science research projects, and clicking on one of those ideas will take you to posts with details and all sorts of information about that type of project. Get more information about why there is a need for CABS!

After 19 years, Siemens Science Competition ending

The 2017 Siemens Science Competition was the last, as the Siemens Foundation has decided to use its financial resources for STEM in different ways. This competition was one of the biggest STEM challenges for high school students, alongside the Regeneron Science Talent Search.  In my opinion, the biggest loss from this is it was the only major science competition that allowed team submissions. From now on, it will be only contests for individual students, which in some ways is a shame since science research is typically such a collaborative process and experience. Perhaps other competitions will make modifications to accompany partner/team efforts - time will tell.
