Snapshot of the 1999 Discovery Young Scientist Challenge

The Society’s middle school science program was first launched in 1999 to encourage achievement and communication in science and math at a younger age and to serve as the nation’s premier STEM research competition for middle school students.

The top 30 finalists in the nation’s premier STEM competition, the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge showcased their projects and answered questions about their work at Planet Word Museum. The students were selected from a pool of 300 to compete for more than $100,000 in awards and prizes.

Society for Science is excited to announce the recipients of its 2024 STEM Action Grants. A total of $320,500 will be awarded to 66 impactful groups across 22 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.

Congratulations to the 2024 Regeneron STS Winners!
