2021 STEM Research Symposium
May 27, 2021 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Free
Our entire community – faculty, staff, parents, research partners, board members, and most importantly, our students – look forward to this outstanding event highlighting students’ original research and discoveries culminating two years of research guided by Baltimore area university and STEM research mentors.
To keep our students’ spirits high and recognize their accomplishments, we have turned our Symposium into a virtual event. The event will take place Thursday, May 27, 2021.
- 5:00 PM – Special keynote address from Dr. Asamoah Nkwanta, Chair of the Morgan State Mathematics Department and the class of 2022 Symposium planning committee
- 5:45 PM – Junior poster sessions & audience Q&A
- 6:00 PM – Senior presentations & audience Q&A
The Ingenuity Project provides a rigorous math, science, and research curriculum to 830 middle and high school students in Baltimore City Public Schools at four middle school locations and Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. The Symposium offers a platform for our students to showcase their original research from the mathematics and research curriculum.The Ingenuity High School Research Practicum is a three-year program spanning sophomore to senior year serving as an incubator for future scientists, engineers, and mathematicians. During the Research Practicum experience, students work with mentors at Baltimore area universities and other research institutions to develop original research projects. They submit their work to national pre-college competitions such as the Regeneron Science Talent Search.
The Innovation Practicum is a two-year sequential in-school and off-site research curriculum spanning sophomore to junior year. Students gain real-world experience in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, and/or Statistics and learn coding languages and/or statistical analysis programs. The primary goal is for student investigators to plan and implement their own problem-solving research project. Students work with mentors — professionals in related fields — to develop independent research projects. Students contribute to the body of research and, in some cases, have their acknowledged in peer-reviewed journals.
