Plant Biology (Senior Division)
Pesticides are used to repel unwanted organisms, but ultimately harm crops in the process. Some active ingredients used in pesticides lead to widespread environmental issues by accumulating…
ISEF · 2026
Engineering Technology: Statics & Dynamics
Low-speed aerodynamic stalls remain a critical limitation for general aviation (GA) aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating at low Reynolds numbers. Although the Clark-Y airfo…
ISEF · 2026
Cellular and Molecular Biology
Everyday behavior is shaped by both conscious and unconscious processes. While neuroscience research has traditionally focused on brain activity associated with conscious perception, far les…
AJAS · 2026
The purpose of this experiment was to see how hydrogen (H2) incorporation during production of thin films affects the stability and opto-electronic properties of various thin films. It was p…
ISEF · 2026
Biomedical and Health Sciences
Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a major public health concern within the United States alone, with approximately 2.5 million cases reportedly annually (CNS, 2021). TBIs contribute to sig…
CSEF · 2026
Zoology (Junior Division) First Award
The goal of my project was to compare the effects of Chlorella versus marigold feed supplementation on lutein content in egg yolks. I hypothesized that both Chlorella and marigold would incr…
AJAS · 2026
Salicylic acid is a common pharmaceutical used to treat acne, dandruff, calluses, etc. It can be polluted into waterways from industrial waste and runoff from agricultural use, potentially i…
CSEF · 2026
Applied Mechanics (Junior Division)
This project investigated how different wall materials affect ultrasonic navigation in a maze. Autonomous robots commonly use ultrasonic sensors to avoid collisions with obstacles in their p…
CYSF · 2026
Bronze Medal
We tested the effect of tech by looking at the amount of time kids spend on technology to see if it had an effect on self-confidence and memory.
CWSF · 2026
Energy
I am a Remote Control car fan. I drive my cars throughout the year. In the winter, the battery drains faster than it does in the summer time. This led me to have the question of how does tem…
CWSF · 2026
Disease & Illness
Ultrasound imaging is an advanced tool used to examine internal structures of the human body, while light imaging is commonly used in laboratories to examine smaller structures. But how well…
CSEF · 2026
Plant Biology (Senior Division) Second Award
In space, studies show that microgravity disrupts plant gravitropism by affecting statolith sedimentation, leading to abnormal root and shoot growth. This limits sustainable food production…
CYSF · 2026
this project will experiment and study the effects of different types of face masks on blood oxygen levels of human and their implications
AJAS · 2026
Commercial knee braces lack adequate patellar support and aren’t effective in reducing patellar mobility after dislocation or subluxation. This study aimed to create a 3D model of a patellar…
CYSF · 2026
Gold Medal
This experiment compares the efficiency of a Lenz effect heater and a conventional space heater by measuring how much electrical energy each requires to raise the air temperature by 5 °C.
CWSF · 2026
Agriculture, Fisheries & Food Gold Medal
The hazelnut industry faces severe threats from the hazelnut weevil (Curculio nucum), with infestations affecting up to 80% of yields. Relying on pesticides is environmentally unsustainable,…
CYSF · 2026
Bronze Medal
This project will look at the differences of homemade deicers, acetates and chlorides in ice melting. This project aims to help people differentiate between acetates and chlorides so they kn…
ISEF · 2026
Software Design
This project developed and evaluated NLC (Natural Language Compression), a language-agnostic lexical text encoder optimized for natural language (NL). Efficient NL encoding is most applicabl…

Egg and saltwater experiment to see relation between density and buoyancy
ISEF · 2026
Physics and Astronomy
This study elucidates the physical mechanisms behind the self-stabilizing behavior of liquid-filled eggs, which suppress motion more effectively than solid-filled ones. Although this phenome…
CWSF · 2026
Health & Wellness Platinum Award
When my father was hospitalized, overworked staff struggled to check his vitals regularly. That experience led me to remote heart-rate monitoring, then to a deeper problem: optical heart-rat…
ISEF · 2026
Mathematics
Stochastic matrices model finite Markov chains and arise in applications such as search engine algorithms and population dynamics. Their eigenvalues determine long-term behavior, making it a…
