Youth STEM Learning & Leadership Forum
Positioned as the flagship summit for Southern California's high school students, the YSLL conference unites STEM exploration in Earth and Space Science, Health and Life Sciences, Engineering, and Al, integrating these disciplines with the United Nations' 2030 Goals. Through student-led panel discussions and collaborative presentations alongside esteemed professors, our mission is to inspire leadership, foster innovation, and instill an unwavering dedication to global sustainability and the advancement of our planet.
During the YSLL forum 2024, we will also spotlight non-profit organizations that have been addressing specific challenges in special education, healthcare, poverty, and environmental protection within Southern California communities for at least a decade. We encourage our students to explore, join, and support these organizations. AEC Foundation will continue to inspire students to get engaged in meaningful service activities that benefit our community.
