2016 Young Scientists Conference

Oak Park District 97 presents…The 2016 Young Scientists Conference! It will return after a 3-year hiatus

on Saturday, March 19, 9 AM – 10:30AM & 11AM -12:30PM at Horace Mann School. The Young Scientists

Conference provides D97 students in grades K-8 an opportunity to interact with scientists in hands-on

workshops. Workshops are led by professionals in all fields of science. Many scientists also volunteer

throughout the year in educational partnerships with D97 schools through Oak Park Education Foundation’s

Science Alliance Program. Students are assigned to one 90-minute workshop based on grade level. Students

must register and are selected from homerooms by lottery to help assure that all schools and grades are

represented. We will notify participants by late February. Please register at http://www.op97.org/ysc2016/.

Registration ends February 10. If you have any questions, please email us at youngscientists@op97.org.
