The Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF)

ISEF is an annual science fair in the United States,] and is owned and administered by the Society for Science & the Public. Every year, tens of millions of students participate in science fairs around the globe but only about 1,800 earn the right to compete for nearly $5 million awards bestowed each May at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). https://www.societyforscience.org/isef/
Each state and country nominates the students to the ISEF. State of Indiana is represented by 12-13 high school students at the Regeneration International Science and Engineering Fair.

GENIUS Olympiad International Science fair

CONSEF nominates two students and CIRSEF/HSEF nominates 1-2 students to the Genius Olympiad each year.
PLTW Engineering Courses
We currently offer a Project Lead The Way (P.L.T.W.) Engineering Class, which is a 9-12 elective that allows students to step into the role of an engineer. Students do hands-on activities that incorporate critical thinking, and collaborative skills to solve real-world problems. The skills students learn through this program can be used in any career field they may choose to pursue. For more information on the program, please see their website: https://www.pltw.org/our-programs/pltw-engineering
