International Precollege Association for Research in STEM Information

IPARS was founded as a way to help middle schoolers and incoming high schoolers to discover and pursue their research interests. Over 70% of high school students are interested in gaining work-related experience, and IPARS serves as a way for them to do that. The goal is to not just to inspire the next generation of researchers but to also create a supportive environment for all the members to pursue research.
