KAS sponsors the Kentucky Junior Academy of Science each April, for middle and high school students engaged in research.
Students with winning presentations are eligible to represent Kentucky as delegates at the American Junior Academy of Science meeting the following February.
KAS operates the Kentucky Science Speakers Bureau, offering expert scientists at no cost to civic organizations, educators, or others, to share their knowledge on a variety of issues.
