The Colorado-Wyoming Junior Academy of Science (CWJAS) was founded in 1947, and was reconstituted in its current form in 1959, as an extension of the Colorado-Wyoming Academy of Science. Since its inception, the CWJAS has given Colorado and Wyoming junior high and high school students a platform to present their scientific work, most notably through the presentation of papers at its annual conference.
