The goals of the pre-college poster presentation session are to allow precollege students to showcase their research and encourage other precollege students to participate in research through Science Fairs and collaborations with their local colleges and universities. They also provide a forum for students to interact with faculty and peers and bolster students’ skills as scientists and communicators.
