REGENERON ISEF
mAY 15-19, 2023
DALLAS, TX
I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to attend the renowned International Science and Engineering Fair in Dallas this year, spanning from May 14th to May 19th. It was a truly remarkable experience for me to showcase my ongoing research and receive valuable feedback from experts in the field. Their insights played a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of my current project. Moreover, the fair provided an enriching platform for scientific exploration, featuring insightful sessions on patent acquisition and research publication. These sessions broadened my understanding of the scientific process and its practical applications, equipping me with invaluable knowledge for the future. What made the experience even more memorable was the chance to connect with high school students from all corners of the globe. Meeting and exchanging ideas with these passionate individuals was inspiring and eye-opening. Notably, I had the pleasure of reconnecting with a few friends I had met during last year's BioGENEius challenge. Overall, my participation in the International Science and Engineering Fair was both academically invigorating and socially fulfilling. I am eager to continue seeking out similar opportunities as I move forward.

Academy Junior, Marta Pambukhchyan, participates in a week-long celebration of her scientific achievements as a FINALIST at the 2022 Regeneron ISEF in Atlanta. Marta has been chosen for the International Science and Engineering Fair for two years in a row (her sophomore and junior year), being one of the seven students representing LA County and the only student representing the Glendale Unified School District and CVHS. For this competition, Marta had an all-paid, week-long trip to Atlanta, Georgia, where she competed against STEM students from over 75 countries!
In addition her project scored in the "upper levels" by the Special Awards in Statistics Judges from the American Statistical Association (ASA) at ISEF and was offered a year-long membership in the ASA's journals and magazines. Congratu;ations, Marta!!!

International Bio Conference
Well established as the Biotechnology Institute's "flagship" program, the BioGENEius Challenge Series provides high school age students with expanded opportunity to compete and be recognized for outstanding research in biotechnology. Drawn from state and regional science competitions across the more than thirty State and our International partners, top finalists representing the upper 5% of applicants showcase their research at the BIO International Convention to some 16,000 attendees and a panel of judges comprised of industry and academic subject matter experts.
At the California State Science and Engineering Fair Mahesh Arunachalam was awarded 2022 National BioGENEius Award for Southern California and was picked as one of the 15 finalists to attend the International Bio Conference at SanDiego from June 13th through the 16th.
At the conference, Mahesh participated under Global Healthcare Challenge in the medical biotechnology category and The Gene pool competition which is a spontaneous presentation using a prop that students pick blindfolded. Mahesh was selected as one of the top 3 finalist of the Gene pool competition. Mahesh picked gloves; his impromptu speech using gloves received good response from the audience.

2017 Science Bowl Team
Four students from the Academy of Science and Medicine participated in the Science Bowl Competition at JPL on Saturday, January 28th, 2017. There were a total of 24 teams that competed for a chance to go to the National Science Bowl Competition.
Although our team did not advance beyond the qualifying rounds, they won the hearts of the judges. Our team received the “Sportsmanship Award" again. That is two years in a row - last year and this year. We have won this award three times since 2011 when we CVHS won the very first Sportsmanship Award. That says a lot about our students!
