Teen Science Café Raleigh

Join us tomorrow night starting at 6pm!

The Duke Vertices program is currently accepting submissions for their annual High School Science Communication Challenge (HSSCC). They invite high school students to communicate a recent scientific research discovery in an engaging article of 650 words or less. Students must submit articles by March 15, 2026 at 11:59pm EST. Selected by a panel of undergraduate staff writers, winners will have the opportunity to publish their articles in the Duke online magazine this spring.

This would be a great opportunity for high school students interested in the intersections of research and science communication.

Full details are at https://www.dukevertices.org/hs-communication-challenge Contact [email protected] if you have questions.
