IBET Symposium

In the spring, IBET students make formal presentations of their year-long collaborative research projects. Students work in teams of two to five students to conduct real-world research on topics such as stream water quality, forest health, salamander egg masses, and the like. Students search scientific literature for information about their topics and then design and conduct original experiments and field studies based on the literature search. After collecting and analyzing data, student groups collaborate to create a formal presentation of their work. These 20 minute presentations are given during the IBET Symposium, where students and parents have the opportunity to hear about the research of teams from other IBETs.

This year's symposia will be Tuesday, June 5, for Blue Day IBETS and Wednesday June 6, for Red Day IBETS. Parents are invited to come for some or all of the Symposium Presentation.
