2022 Regeneron International Science and Engineering (ISEF) Results:
The 2022 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair took place in Atlanta, Georgia as a hybrid event from May 8 - 13. The competition featured 1750 young scientists representing 49 states and 63 countries, regions, and territories across the world. Approximately 1300 student finalists attended in person and approximately 500 student finalists participated virtually. In total, awards and scholarships valued at nearly $8,000,000 were awarded to finalists based on their projects' creativity, innovation, and level of scientific inquiry. Only 30% of the finalists received awards and prizes.
The GSDSEF had 7 student finalists - 6 who qualified through the GSDSEF and 1 who qualified through the California Science and Engineering Fair. Congratulations to this year's GSDSEF and CaSEF ISEF Participants: Amogh Chaturvedi, Ayush Nayak, Daniel Cai, Matthew Noto, Peter Radic (CaSEF), Rohan Bosworth, and Shirley Xu.
