Symposium is the culmination of students’ summer activities. Interns convene online for a full day, to share their summer intern experiences. Each student presents their work in an oral presentation to mentors, parents, teachers, other interns, and community guests. Symposium is designed to broaden students’ technical expertise and strengthen their formal public speaking skills. It is also a critical learning event that enables interns to organize and synthesize what they’ve learned in the course of the internship. (This is a required event for all ASE interns. Mentors, parents and community guests are encouraged to attend.)
