These are the award winners for the 2024 Mercer Science and Engineering Fair. You can download the PDF file containing this list. 

We would like to congratulate all those students that participated and thank our judges for their work evaluating all the projects and interviewing the students. 

We had originally planned a video award ceremony like last year but scheduling issues prevented us from providing that this year. 

Awards will be mailed and should be received by April 19th. Please contact me if you are on this list and have not received anything by that time. - Bill Wong

This year we are proud to announce the awards received by our two 2023 Mercer Science and Engineering Fair (MSEF) Grand Prize winners,  Naveen Enock and Nicholas Hagedorn, at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). MSEF occurs in March and it is open to all students in the Mercer County, NJ area in grades 7-12. The grand prize winners of the Senior Division move on to ISEF in May.

Naveen, who attends West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South, received the Central Intelligence Agency’s First Award for $1000. His project was Autonomous Soccer Robot.

Registration for the 2024 MSEF will open this fall but you can start your project now. You may use the 2023 International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) forms if you plan on starting experimentation now. 

We would like to congratulate all the participants of this year's Mercer Science and Engineering Fair and recognize the winners at this year's event. The PDF file contains the complete list. 

The top two projects in the Junior Division were Zachary Phelan for the project, The Gauss Rifle, and Olivia Ahn, for the project, The Impact of Different Fabrics and the Resistance to Mosquitoes: Which Types of Fabrics Let Mosquitoes Go Through? These two students will move on to the Thermo Fisher Junior Innovators Challenge. 

The top two projects in the Senior Division were Naveen Enock for the project, Autonomous Soccer Robot, and Nicholas Hagedorn for the project, Strict Inequalities for the n-crossing Number. These two students will be moving on to the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair in May in Dallas, TX.
