CABS - Center for Advancement of Basement Science: September 2021

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!

Global Student Prize - find inspiring stories!

The Varkey Foundation, which has run the Global Teacher Prize Program since 2015, has now started the Global Student Prize, where a student (high school through college) can win up to $100,000 as a top award. If you want to learn of some AMAZING impacts students have had all around the world, and on national and global scales, check out the Top 50 Finalist students! This is not necessarily STEM related, but reading some of the stories could be fun for you.
