Pittsburgh Regional Science & Engineering Fair (PRSEF) will celebrate its 85th year of open competition of research projects in the fields of science, mathematics, and engineering. This competition is open to all students in grades 6-12 from the 21 counties within Western Pennsylvania and Garrett County, Maryland. The Science Fair has been a Pittsburgh tradition since 1940. It is also the third oldest science fair in the United States under the affiliation of Society for Science and the Public, which runs the Regeneron International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) and the Broadcom MASTERS middle school competition.
This year the following students are participating along with their self-chosen topics of experimentation:
Evelyn Lawler - Robotic Refuse Retrieval on Extreme Incline Planes at Illegal Dumpsites
Ulrich Johnsen & Abheek Tuladhar - Effectiveness of Using a Neural Network to Detect A.I. Generated Content
Sonaya Arora - Directional Shielding from Cell Phone Radiation
Anamaria Pomirleanu - Comparing Sorption of Organic Waste Products for Oil Spill Cleanup
Elizabeth Feterik - The Viability of Natural Antiseptics
A.I. Scholars Live Online is a 10 Session (25-hour) program that exposes high school students to fundamental AI concepts and guides them to build a socially impactful project. Taught by a team of graduate students from Stanford, MIT, and more, students receive a personalized learning experience in small groups with a student=-teacher ratio of 5:1.
Applications are open and are processed on a rolling basis. Please visit the site and application to learn more and get started. There is a personal $900 cost to this program.
