This year NJ Academy of Science has partnered with the NJ Department of Labor and Workforce  development, to assist in establishing a hub for STEM business leaders to collaborate with public partners in resolving workforce, economic and education challenges impacting New Jersey’s industries. As part of this initiative, NJAS has developed a new session  into its annual meeting called, “NJ STEM Enterprises and Alliances showcase”, welcoming all enterprises to share their mission goals in the STEM sector, and to have a space in our meeting to be able to share their success, products, internships, and programs with our community.  

The New Jersey Academy of Science (NJAS) is one of the longest science organizations based in NJ.  Over the past sixty-eight years, the NJ Academy of Science annual meeting has grown into a widely anticipated career and research forum among the scientific community in the Tri-State area. We strongly believe this event will impact your business recognition in our state and most importantly develop a network with our organization. Participants include faculty, postdocs, undergraduate, teachers, parents  and high school students from all over NJ. This event is the science hub event of the year where NJ science elite individuals are located in one place. The higher education academic institutions' that share their scientific contributions include  Rutgers University, Princeton University, William Paterson University, Caldwell University, Kean University, Saint Peter’s University, NJIT,  Montclair State University, and many more. 

Similarly the  K-12 high school students and teachers from all over the state join us, about 80-100 students will compete to attend the 2024 AJAS/NAAS and AAAS annual meeting, only first and second place winners serve as NJ delegates at the national level. The high schools represented in the past years include Bergen County Academies, Tenafly HS, Academy for Mathematics, Science, and Engineering, Chatham High School, Colonia High School, High Technology High School, Hillsborough High School, Holmdel High School, Jose Marti STEM Academy, Manalapan High School - Science & Engineering Academy, Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science, Old Bridge High School, Palisades Park High School, Toms River High School North, The Pingry School, Academies at Englewood, Bard HS Early college, The Lawrenceville School, Pequannock Township High School, Old Bridge High School, John P.
