The format for the 200-word abstract includes: 1 inch margins, keyed in 12 point font (Times New Roman). Abstracts must be adequate in length, but not exceed these specifications. The header proceeding the abstract text includes:
- Title of the research
- Your name
- Name of your high school, high school city, and state
- Name of your teacher/sponsor/mentor and his or her organization. Precede the person’s name with a subheading (i.e., teacher, mentor, sponsor)

Abstracts are distributed to all symposium attendees. A good abstract is written to summarize the research paper. The abstract should accurately convey the essential nature of the research conducted and the most significant conclusions reached. A further purpose of the abstract is to attract the interest and curiosity of the non-specialist reader and thus encourage exchange, discussion, and elaboration between various authors and between authors and readers.
