Every year tens of millions of high school students compete in regional, district, and state science fairs and only a select few get to participate in the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), one of the largest international science fair in the world. This year, there were over 1,000 participants from over 40 countries competing for more than $8 million in scholarship money. But this week was not just about winning an award, it was about the experience of getting to meet and connecting with other brilliant minds.

Congratulating to Pari Latawa and Nathan Elias for making it all the way to ISEF. That in itself is a major accomplishment. We are also happy to report that Nathan was awarded a full scholarship to Drexel University and $3,000 from US Agency for International Development.
