Abstract
Connecting Young Minds (CYM) is a bilingual research conference at the University of Ottawa, created and run by students to enrich the experiences of undergraduates in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). With a mission to inspire research interest and foster innovation, CYM offers students a unique platform to present their research to an audience and expert judges. Every year, the conference hosts a research competition where students submit abstracts or proposals. Selected candidates present their work in a five-minute session, followed by a Question & Answer period, with three grand winners chosen on the conference day. Additionally, students engage with industry professionals, keynote speakers, and past uOttawa valedictorians through presentations and networking sessions. Originally started within the Faculty of Science, CYM has expanded to reach all STEM faculties. With over 300,000 students engaged on social media, 1,000 new followers, and over 300 attendees, CYM is now uOttawa’s largest STEM conference. As the university's only bilingual undergraduate research conference, CYM connects anglophone and francophone students with bilingual, world-renowned researchers, providing an exceptional platform for undergraduates to explore STEM fields and contribute to innovative research in a collaborative environment. Abstracts in this booklet were submitted by participants on a volunteer basis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
