AWARDS

Advancements

Each year high school students earn their place to present their research at the Terra New York City STEM Fair(TNYC STEM Fair). TNYC STEM Fair exhibitors competing for a variety of Grand and Special Awards are judged on their creative and scientific thought, as well as the thoroughness, skill, and clarity shown in their projects. The culminating prize is advancing to the international round and representing NYC at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) or GENIUS Olympiad.  Each year, our team has worked with hundreds of students but only a select few students earn the chance to exhibit their research and compete for a chance to represent Team NYC at ISEF or GENIUS Olympiad. There they compete for more than $4,000,000 in awards and scholarships.

Grand awards

Awarded as ISEF Finalists (top one or two projects), and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place (multiple awards based on number of projects in their category) to outstanding projects based on overall performance in their category.  GENIUS Olympiad award is given to top environmental related project to advance to International GENIUS Olympiad.
