Environmental Engineering
Low-lying regions are inherently vulnerable to storm surge threats during a hurricane, yet many communities in those areas lack integrated coastal defense systems. Not all types of shoreline…
ISEF · 2026
Robotics and Intelligent Machines
Landslides are a kind of major natural disaster that causes huge economic and life losses globally. And visual detection using satellite imagery is critical for disaster response. Landform,…
ISEF · 2026
Plant Sciences
Coastal wetland restoration is increasingly challenged by climate-driven salinity shifts that impose physiological constraints on vulnerable plant populations. This study evaluated how natur…
ISEF · 2026
Plant Sciences
Phytochrome B (phyB) is a plant photoreceptor that forms nuclear photobodies involved in temperature sensing. While photobody size has been studied, the mechanism controlling photobody numbe…
CSEF · 2026
Plant Biology (Senior Division)
Plants sense and respond to ambient temperature in part through phytochrome B (phyB), a photoreceptor that forms nuclear photobodies (PBs) whose number decreases as temperature increases. Wh…
CSEF · 2026
Environmental Engineering (Track 2) (Junior Division) Honorable_mention Award
Microplastic and nanoplastic (MNPs) pollution negatively impacts ecosystems and biodiversity. MNPs found in agricultural irrigation and soil results in uptake and accumulation in our food cr…
CSEF · 2026
Environmental Engineering (Senior Division)
This project evaluated the phytoremediation potential of mule fat (Baccharis salicifolia), a California native wetland plant, to remove copper and zinc from contaminated water. The study was…
CWSF · 2026
Disease & Illness Silver Medal
Dental cavities are widely considered the most prevalent chronic disease globally. For over a century, dental x-rays have been the standard for diagnosis. However, new technologies are emerg…
CSEF · 2026
Plant Biology (Senior Division)
The San Joaquin Valley is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world; however, heavy reliance on synthetic fertilizers has disrupted soil nutrient balance and electrical co…
ISEF · 2026
Engineering Technology: Statics & Dynamics
Most energy sources are non-renewable, like fossil fuels. One way to get around this is to have more renewable energy sources. One idea is to harness the steps and physical movement that ind…

Gold Medal
Pillarox AI is a program made to assist visually impaired individuals with identifying their medication. Trained using Google's Teachable Machine and coded using AI, this project hopes to re…
CYSF · 2026
For this test we tested 10 grade 7/8 students to see how high or low frequency they could hear. I first split the students into musicians and non-musicians. After the test I found out that t…
CSEF · 2026
Zoology (Junior Division) Honorable_mention Award
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is driven by abnormal activation of the Hedgehog (HH) signaling pathway through the Smoothened (SMO) receptor. HH signaling also regulates regeneration and posteri…
CSEF · 2026
Applied Mechanics (Junior Division) Honorable_mention Award
The purpose of this project is to create the best possible glider in terms of time aloft. Throughout the experiment, I varied the center of gravity, dihedral angle, and angle of attack on a…
ISEF · 2026
Plant Sciences Third Award
Orchids are plants with challenging propagation; therefore, in vitro cultivation is a viable alternative for seedling production, despite its high cost. Additionally, growth is slow, and the…
ISEF · 2026
Plant Sciences
Current plant monitoring systems often rely on reactive visual inspections or invasive analysis, detecting issues only after physiological damage has occurred. To address this, we present a…
