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!

Congratulations to all seniors who submitted to the Regeneron STS!!

Last week, likely some 1500+ seniors around the country, who have been working on research projects over long periods of time, submitted applications and papers describing their research to the Regeneron Science Talent Search (STS). Congratulations to all of them!

The STS is the 'Nobel Prize for High Schools,' where ultimately one student will take home a $250,000 top prize. This will occur after 300 national semifinalists are selected, and then 40 national finalists from that group. The goal of this contest is find the most promising scientific talent in the nation - thirteen finalists in the STS have gone on to win the actual Nobel!

One may think they must be working on cancer cures in order to win, but students can work in anything and be eligible. It is quite an accomplishment to write up one's work and defend it, which is all part of the science process. Congratulations to those seniors who took on this challenge!
