International Science & Engineering Fair: May 10-16, 2025 in Columbus, Ohio

The International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) is the world’s largest international pre-college science competition. Each year, it provides a forum for more than 1,500 high school students from over 40 countries to showcase their independent research. High school student projects from each region advance directly, as well as those selected to advance from the state competition. Participants in the ISEF meet many other students with new ideas and similar interests. They are exposed to a wonderful array of new experiences with tours, presentations and other fun activities.
