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!

Wanting to learn to Code and do Computational Research? Give NetLogo a try

 NetLogo is an agent-based programming language developed at Northwestern University, near Chicago and also my high school. This is meant to be an educational language, relatively easy to learn and free for anyone (you can download NetLogo, or you can run on a Web-based platform if you have something like a Chromebook). 

There is a large library of existing models in a variety of disciplines, ranging from physics, biology and chemistry to social science, political and financial applications. This video begins to explain what agent-based refers to, and how a NetLogo program operates in concept. Check it out!
