2022 AAASE Summer Academy Project Design Presentations

The AAASE Summer Academy Project Design Presentation aims to train students to conduct a team research design project with a mentor from the AAASE academy faculty and staff to provide a solution to an important problem facing the world. Each team is required to identify and justify the problem that came from the students' beautiful minds, conduct literature research for the problem, and present their solutions and findings to the participating academy students, parents, and AAASE board members and judges. The top three presentations with impactful and creative ideas will win the AAASE Summer Academy DDL best presentation awards with $2000, $1500, and $1000, respectively, for the first, second, and third places.
