COLUMBUS, OH, UNITED STATES, March 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — On Saturday, March 7, 2026, 111 students will compete at the Buckeye Science & Engineering Fair. Hosted by CAS, and sponsored by the AEP Foundation, the Buckeye Science & Engineering Fair is a program of The Ohio Academy of Science. This year, STEM scholars from 56 high schools throughout Ohio will compete for 6 spots that will advance to the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), the world’s most prestigious STEM competition for high school students. More than 1,700 students from 70 countries will compete for nearly $5,000,000 in scholarships and awards at ISEF 2026. The ISEF will take place in Phoenix, AZ from May 10-15.
The Buckeye Science & Engineering Fair requires more than 60 volunteers who serve as judges and content experts to evaluate projects. Many of these judges and volunteers represent the following organizations: American Chemical Society, CAS, Cleveland Clinic, Columbus State Community College, First Solar, Gresham Smith, Nationwide Children’s, Ohio University, The Ohio State University, United States Air Force, University of Cincinnati, and University of Kentucky.
“These students have been led by their curiosity to find new discoveries and answers to their questions.”, said Michael E. Woytek, Executive Director of The Ohio Academy of Science. “Like using classification algorithms to differentiate major disease states from healthy controls, or developing a novel, affordable, and accurate home test kit for establishing standards of water quality”. Woytek added, “our event celebrates and encourages today’s students to use inquiry-based research to solve problems that improve the human condition”.
