The programs are designed for students currently enrolled in grades seven through ten.

Held on the Iowa State University campus, the Investigation Series consists of conferences designed for college-bound students to explore university research and academic experiences, various fields of study, and exciting careers through hands-on activities. Take advantage of this opportunity to interact with university professionals and students and to investigate what the future may have in store for you!

Great idea! In fact, an ideal way to plan for your future and meet your educational needs is to involve educators from your school.

Not to mention that attending the day with a group of your friends can be a lot of fun. As an added incentive, school groups can attend each conference at a reduced rate (see below for details). To take advantage of this option, simply have your group leader mail all registration forms in one envelope with the appropriate fee. The group leader need not be a school representative.

Yes! Parents and educators will explore issues concerning educational opportunities, college planning, and financing education, as well as academic experiences available in academic and career areas within agriculture and engineering.

The fee to attend each conference is $20 for each individual student. School groups can attend for $12 per person. Students on free or reduced lunch can attend at no cost, if the school provides appropriate documentation. Parents and educators attend at no charge.
