Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) is going Virtual in 2020!

Society for Science & the Public and Regeneron invite the entire scientific and engineering community to come together and celebrate STEM through Virtual Regeneron ISEF.

Would you like an opportunity to view outstanding science and engineering fair projects from around the world and hear from Nobel Laureates? We are delighted to spread the word that the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) is going Virtual in 2020! The Society for Science & the Public and Regeneron have announced the Virtual Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, which will take place Monday, May 18 through Friday, May 22. It is free and open to the public, though you must register to attend (see above link). ISEF 2020 will have virtual rooms for each project category featuring videos about projects submitted by participating finalists.

The Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) is the international fair to which our four top GNOSEF senior division projects advance, providing an all-expense paid opportunity for four GNO area students and two teachers to attend. Due to the unique circumstances surrounding the Coronavirus this year, the event was cancelled and moved to a virtual platform, allowing for anyone with an interest in science and engineering to “go to ISEF”, albeit virtually. If you choose to register, our GNOSEF fair ID is USLA08. Keep an eye out for our four GNOSEF finalists listed with their project numbers below. Rachel Pizzolato, one of our finalists, received the Albert F.W. Habeeb M.D. Scholarship Award at the 2020 GNOSEF!
