Every year our contests become more and more central to what we do.
Hearing from teenagers around the world on the issues and ideas of the day — whether via essays, editorials, political cartoons, photography, videos, poetry, podcasts or culture reviews — has become, for us, an essential part of our mission of “teaching and learning with The New York Times.”
The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) unites the top young scientific minds, showcasing their talents on an international stage, where doctoral-level scientists review and judge their work.
Each year, approximately 1,800 high school students from more than 75 countries, regions, and territories are awarded the opportunity to showcase their independent research and compete for on average $5 million in prizes at Intel ISEF. The competition focuses on identifying, inspiring, and engaging the world's next STEM generation.
The Regeneron Science Talent Search (Regeneron STS) is the nation’s oldest and most prestigious science competition for high school seniors, providing an important forum for original research that is recognized and reviewed by a national jury of professional scientists. Alumni have made extraordinary contributions to science and have earned many of the world’s most distinguished science and math honors, including thirteen Nobel Prizes. Annually, over 1,800 high school seniors from around the country accept the challenge of conducting independent science, math or engineering research and completing an entry for the Regeneron Science Talent Search. The competition recognizes 300 student scholars and their schools each year and invites 40 student finalists to Washington, D.C. 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.
The BioGENEius Challenges are your opportunity to compete on an international stage with some of the brightest scientific minds in the world.
Are you a BioGENEius?

Imagine discovering a cure to a rare disease, optimizing crop production to provide millions more with affordable food, or even culturing new algae to break down water contaminants. We challenge you to explore projects in any of the above, and more, and present your work to industry innovators currently transforming the scientific landscape.
Are you ready to collaborate with the best minds in biotechnology, and shape the future of the industry? Then yes, you are a BioGENEius.
Three New Tracks–Expanding Student Opportunities, Tailoring the Experience to Your Interests
In 2015, the Institute announced that the BioGENEius Challenges expanded into three new Challenge tracks, giving students more opportunities than ever before to apply, earn recognition and win awards for their projects:
The Global Healthcare Challenge in medical biotechnology
The Global Sustainability Challenge in agricultural biotechnology
The Global Environment Challenge in industrial/environmental biotechnology
We challenge you to come up with new and diverse project ideas in these three areas. Our judges, selected for their knowledge, talent and experience in each of the three areas, will focus and tailor their feedback to each student’s project.
The Google Science Fair is an online science competition open to students ages 13-18 from around the globe. Top prize is a $50,000 scholarship.
