Sixteen students from across Alabama attended the 2022 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), held May 8-13 in Atlanta, GA.   More than 1,700 students from 80 countries, regions or territories competed for prizes in the event.

Fifteen of the students from Alabama had earned the right to compete at this prestigious event by winning a top prize at their regional or at the state science fair. The other student attended as student observer.
