Who We Are
The South Carolina Academy of Science is a state-wide, interdisciplinary science 
organization. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in science. Members include college students, grade school and college faculty, educational administrators, business people and government employees.
What We Do
Annual Meeting
The annual meeting is held in March or April, usually at a college or university. Our next meeting is Friday, April 15 through Saturday, April 16, 2011 at South Carolina State University. Anyone is welcome to attend. Original research is presented in platform sessions organized by topic and in a poster session. Competitive awards are presented to undergraduate and graduate students who present outstanding research. The annual meeting is an excellent forum for young researchers to learn how to make public presentations.
Junior Academy (SCJAS)
The Academy supports the South Carolina Junior Academy of Science, 
which is open to high school students who are interested in science. The Junior Academy holds workshops, which are educational events, and annual meeting in conjunction with the Academy's annual meeting where high school students present research and compete for awards.
Journal
The Academy publishes a peer-reviewed journal that accepts quality manuscripts on any scientific topic. Journal volumes and submission instructions and available on our Journal page.
Teacher Workshops
Qualified science teachers are absolutely necessary for providing high-quality science education, which is vital to preparing students for careers in science. To help support science teachers, we provide workshops at Academy-sponsored meetings. Thanks for your long hours, hard work and high energy.
Science Fairs
South Carolina has regional science fairs that are sanctioned by International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). Winners at the regional science fairs can compete at ISEF. While there is not an offical relationship between any ISEF-sanctioned organizations and the Academy, our programs overlap and we are committed to assisting the science fairs and finding new ways to interact.
How Can We Help?
The Academy welcomes all requests for support of science in South Carolina. We can provide educational materials and events to the general public or a specific audience but we cannot engage in activities that would jeopardize our tax-exempt status.
