2017 – A Year of Exciting Changes
Ying TRSEF was launched to serve the many “orphaned” counties in NYS without direct affiliation with the Intel ISEF. Since 2006 every student has proven those counties rich with talented youth eager for actual scientific research and engineering design experiences. In 2017, each county will attend a regional affiliate in its own part of the state! Ying TRSEF has successfully worked itself out of a job.

Your 2017 affiliations:

Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua: Twin Tiers Regional Science Fair (St. Bonaventure)
Broome, Chenango, Jefferson,Tioga, Tompkins:  CNYSEF (Syracuse)
Chemung, Schuyler, Steuben: CWS STANYS Science Congress (Rochester)
