The Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, administered by the Society for Science since 1950, is the world's largest international pre-college science competition. ISEF is an annual forum for more than 1,800 students in grades 9-12 from nearly every state in the U.S. and more than 80 countries, regions and territories to  showcase their discoveries and innovations on an international stage.

This year's ISEF will be hybrid, and organizers are recruiting hundreds of volunteers and judges for virtual events scheduled for May 4 and 5 and the in-person event in Atlanta, Georgia on May 10.

Three types of volunteers are needed:

—Judges (in-person and virtual): Finalists overwhelmingly say the most significant interactions they have at the fair are with the judges. This position requires either an advanced degree or a minimum of six years related professional experience beyond receiving a B.A., B.S. or master's degree. Visit for more information.

—Interpreters (in-person and virtual): ISEF is an international competition. All languages are needed, but Arabic, Thai, Turkish, Spanish and Portuguese interpreters are specifically sought. The minimum time commitment is four hours. Visit for more information.

—Judging Proctor (virtual only): Learn more about the projects, prepare student competitors for judging and provide adult supervision to ensure appropriate behavior during judging. Volunteers only need reliable internet access. The minimum time commitment is four and a half hours. Visit for more information.

Volunteer to help these top scientific minds come together to showcase their talent and compete for nearly $5 million in prizes and scholarships.
