The BRITE High School Student Symposium welcomes all high school students who want to explore biotechnology and biomedical research at ²ÝÁñÉçÇøÈë¿Ú in Houston’s Texas Medical Center. The event will be Aug. 10.
The program offers interactive scientific sessions led by high school students who’ve conducted their own research. While students have the option to submit an abstract and present a poster or PowerPoint presentation, it is not mandatory to do so — everyone is welcome to participate. Through the symposium, students will gain insights into scientific conference procedures, stay updated on biotechnology advancements and learn about crafting scientific abstracts and presentations.
is free for all students and will include a one-day event featuring keynote speeches with the opportunity to submit an abstract and present a poster or oral presentation. Remote attendance is possible but will be assessed based on the student’s interests.
All students will be contacted prior to the symposium regarding parking instructions and other details. Students planning to submit an abstract will receive communication regarding abstract format and submission links. While students will collaborate with their mentors to prepare abstracts and poster / oral presentations, we will also host meetings via Zoom to assist with abstract construction and address any questions they may have.
