NYU-Poly and Partners Hold Science and Engineering Fair for High School Students

On March 6-7, more than a thousand students from public and private high schools throughout the five boroughs will meet to display their scientific research projects at the New York City Science and Engineering Fair (NYCSEF). The Expo, which is open to the public, is the New York City Department of Education's annual science and technology research competition coordinated by the New York Academy of Sciences in partnership with Polytechnic Institute of NYU.

All students in grades 9-12 attending schools within the five boroughs are eligible to participate. The top 250 students presenting research projects are selected to participate in the Finals, where they compete for awards totaling almost $2,000,000 in the form of cash, scholarships, and prizes, including a chance to represent NYC at the 2007 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).
