Science Fair: The Series, which is available on Disney+ and Hulu, is a three-part documentary series that follows inspiring students from around the globe on their journey to compete at the largest convening of high school scientists in the world: the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, which is created and produced by Society for Science. While the students are truly extraordinary, it’s the mentors, teachers, parents, and fair directors who are the unsung heroes. These supportive adults play a pivotal role in supporting and guiding these young people.

January 2024: January is National Mentoring Month! To celebrate, we asked a few of our accomplished Regeneron Science Talent Search scholars and finalists to tell us about the mentors that helped guide them in their research and nurture their STEM interests. Keep reading to hear how these high schoolers found leaders in their fields who helped them take their projects to the next level.

The competition, now in its 83rd year, has consistently identified young innovators who combine their STEM talent with dedication and leadership skills to drive society forward.
