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!

Regeneron Science Talent Search National Semifinalists

 You can check out the titles of all 300 national semifinalist projects in the Regeneron Science Talent Search (STS). Get ideas from the top research projects in the country. Keep in mind that nearly all of them will have been done in professional labs with professors and professional researchers as their mentors. While that is all wonderful, and these students did remarkable work and learned SO much, we realize very few students around the country have those connections and are near the professional labs to be able to do these types of projects - the vast majority of schools do NOT have these opportunities, and do not have in-house research programs, and likely have no school history to fall back on for science research. 

It is for these reasons and these students with few options for such advanced research that CABS exists! We can still do original research in our schools and homes, with little equipment or materials, and we can offer such opportunities to any student, anywhere, and they have the chance to make discoveries! This is cool to think about, and even cooler to do!

Our World in Data - Fantastic site

 Looking for data and trends in countless areas of life? The Our World in Data site, run through the University of Oxford, is amazing! It has thousands of interactive graphs on everything from world hunger to electricity accessibility to education to war to agriculture...

It is also a site used in teaching for the world's best universities and sponsored by the top scientific and media-based organizations on the planet. Use it when writing papers for school or doing your own research. 

It is difficult to solve the world's big problems if one does not know the extent of the problems, and this site helps address that issue! 

Get beyond the politics of big problems, and go after the actual data to help figure it out!
