Sigma Xi invites high school, undergraduate, and graduate students to compete for prizes and the honor of becoming a top presenter in the Student Research Showcase. This competition builds science communication skills as students present an abstract, slideshow, and video about their research. The competition is held online, allowing all participants to receive feedback from judges without paying for traveling to a conference. Students must register by February 26 to compete.
