Go WISE Team!
The top nine WSSEF projects (ten students / teams) join finalists from the four WSSEF affiliated Regional Science & Engineering Fairs (Central Sound, Eastern Washington, Mid-Columbia, Southwest Washington) to form the WISE Team (Washington International Science & Engineering Team). Regeneron ISEF is the world’s largest pre-college science competition with 1,700 young entrepreneurs and innovators from 80+ countries worldwide.
