Letter from the Team

Dear Participants and Supporters, 

We are thrilled to introduce the Florida Youth Innovation Symposium (FLYRIS), an initiative designed to empower and inspire the next generation of researchers. We want to take a moment to share the vision behind this exciting program and why we believe it is vital for our youth.

In today’s fast-paced world, the importance of research cannot be overstated. It is the driving force behind innovation, problem-solving, and progress across all fields. We wanted to create FLYRIS to foster a culture of inquiry and discovery among high school and undergraduate students throughout Florida. We aim to ignite a passion for research early on, encouraging young minds to explore their interests and contribute to meaningful advancements in their communities and beyond.

FLYRIS offers a unique platform for students to showcase their work, engage in hands-on workshops, and connect with mentors and peers who share their enthusiasm for learning. By participating in our symposium, you will not only enhance your research skills but also build a network of like-minded individuals who can support and inspire your journey. 

We believe that by investing in the youth today, we are nurturing the innovators and leaders of tomorrow. We hope that FLYRIS will instill a lifelong love for research and inquiry in each of you, empowering you to make a lasting impact in your chosen fields.

We encourage all of you to get involved, take advantage of the opportunities FLYRIS has to offer, and join us in this exciting journey of discovery and innovation. Together, we can shape a brighter future for ourselves and our communities.

Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing the incredible research you will present at the symposium.

Sincerely,
FLYRIS Team
