During my high school career, I constantly looked for ways to expand my interest on Applied Mathematics, either through finding communities with like-minded students, or by conducting interdisciplinary research. However, after years of exploration, I discovered that there is a significant gap between high school and college STEM education and communities. In particular, research work from high school students is valuable but usually constrained because of the limited journal publication resources available to high school students.

 

By founding STREAM x Youth, I strive to bridge this gap and unite the global STEM community by publishing journal issues, calling for submissions, connecting students to research positions, and hosting interactive events such as competitions and forums with themes in mathematics and physics photography. 

 

We hope to increase the transparency in high school research by providing students with a platform that not only allows accessible and global publication, but also provides valuable research opportunities. We also plan to host math and physics photography competitions, along with invitational forums, so that students can directly interact and communicate with each other on the topic we are all passionate about.
