AGU'S BRIGHT STARS
What is the Bright STaRS program?
Each year, we invite middle and high school students participating in after-school and summer research experiences in Earth and space science to participate in the Bright Students Training as Research Scientists (Bright STaRS) program. The program provides a dedicated forum for around 100 students to present their own research results to the scientific community and learn about exciting research, education, and career opportunities in Earth and space science. It is a free program that is held each year during AGU’s Annual Meeting.
Recent participants in the Bright STaRS program have included students from across the country and around the globe. If you are a student or program advisor interested in participating in this program, please contact Diana Ibarra, ISF Academy in Hong Kong.
