The Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (Regeneron ISEF) is the world’s largest STEM competition for high school students. Through a global network of local, regional and national science fairs, millions of students world-wide are encouraged to explore their passion for scientific inquiry. Every year, students selected as finalists are offered the opportunity to compete for approximately U.S. $5 million in awards and scholarships.

Regeneron ISEF aims to reward and celebrate the best and brightest young minds around the world. It also aims to encourage participants to pursue careers in STEM as a way to impact the world and the future. Many ISEF alumni have continued in STEM and have embarked on world-changing career paths in science and engineering and they earn some of the most esteemed honors, including National Medal of Science recipients, MacArthur Foundation Fellows, and induction into the  National Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Engineering. 

This year we are proud to report that two HTHS students, Arya Tschand (Grade 12) and Jue Gong (Grade 10), earned the high honor of competing at ISEF. We are so proud of them and have highlighted their accomplishments below.
