2026 Student Research Conference

06/18/2026 - 06/21/2026
Fulton Science Academy, Atlanta, GA

The annual Student Research Conference brings together students from NCSS STEM member schools to share their research and network and collaborate with other STEM students from around the country.

STEM students from around the world will come together for several days of interactive learning and sessions facing STEM students today and tomorrow. One highlight of the 2025 conference was the tour of the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

This is usually an informal but highly informative group of sessions where information is shared much more openly than anywhere else. Network with STEM student peers and collaborate to solve similar problems, regardless of geographic location.
