COMPETITIONS
The following is a list of competitions that all science research students must compete in for all 4 years. You can expect to compete in each competition at least once in the 4-year Science Research program. These competitions have many benefits, including the opportunity to earn money prizes (some totaling up to $4,000,000). Be prepared and good luck, researchers!
Siemens Competition
The Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology recognizes remarkable talent early on, fostering individual growth for high school students who are willing to challenge themselves through science research. Through this competition, students have an opportunity to achieve national recognition for science research projects that they complete in high school.
Deadline: September 19, 2017
NYC Science & Engineering Fair
The New York City Science and Engineering Fair, the largest high school research competition in NYC, is sponsored by the New York City Department of Education and the City University of New York. Each year, hundreds of students participate from all over the five boroughs. The NYCSEF 2017 paper and on-line portions of the application are available here.
Deadline: December 13, 2017
Junior Science and Humanities Symposium
JSHS is designed to challenge and engage students (Grades 9-12) in science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM). Individual students compete for scholarships and recognition by presenting the results of their original research efforts before a panel of judges and an audience of their peers. Opportunities for hands-on workshops, panel discussions, career exploration, research lab visits and networking are planned.
Deadline: TBA
Regeneron Science Talent Search
Each year, more than 1,700 seniors attending American high schools conduct original research projects and present their work in the country’s oldest, most prestigious pre-college science competition: the Regeneron Science Talent Search, a program of Society for Science & the Public. Forty of these young innovators are chosen as finalists and invited to participate in a nearly week-long event in Washington, D.C., where they compete for over USD 1.25 million in awards and scholarships.
Deadline: November 15, 2017
FLHS Science Fair
The FLHS Annual Science Symposium is FLHS's celebration for the students working in research each year. All research students get the chance to present their original research before their peers, faculty, family, and other students. Teams are rigorously assessed based on their posters' design quality, their presentation's presentation, their ability to answer questions about their work, overall teamwork and the knowledge underlying their work. Students' work is also evaluated to contribute to final grades.
