The Regeneron Science Talent Search (Regeneron STS) is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science competition for high school seniors. The competition provides a forum for original research that is recognized and reviewed by a national jury of professional scientists.
Annually, high school seniors from around the country accept the challenge of conducting independent science, math, or engineering research. The competition recognizes 300 student scholars and their schools each year and invites 40 student finalists to Washington, DC, to participate in final judging, display their work to the public, and meet with notable scientists and government leaders. Each year Regeneron STS scholars and finalists compete for $3.1 million in awards. Twelfth-grade students can win up to $250,000 for their incredible science research.
Deadlines: Applications and recommendations are due by November 9, 2022. The technical support deadline is November 8, 2022.
Discovery Education’sMystery Science inspires K–5 students to stay curious. Video-based, open-and-go core and mini lessons are driven by questions from real students, who guide the exploration of the world around them and inspire curiosity.
Every year invention education experts at the National Inventors Hall of Fame develop an all-new curriculum for Camp Invention. The curriculum is filled with hands-on experiences that provide an appropriate level of challenge for students across a range of learning levels in kindergarten through grade 6.
K–12 students are invited to give engineering a try with the 2023 Engineering Challenge from Science Buddies. In the challenge, students use their problem-solving skills to design, build, and test contraptions, using simple materials. This year students are invited to make a device out of paper, string, tape, and paper clips to pick up a ping-pong ball and return it to a start line.
