K-12 Researchers

Once again, Tulsa Research Partners has partnered with the Tulsa Regional STEM Alliance to bring several K-12 participants to Research Day. These students will be attending their own program during the morning, but will also be presenting posters during the poster session. They are studying research questions related to disaster preparedness and response, and we invite everyone to see their work.

We also have a number of high school researchers from the OKStars program at OSU-CHS.
