Welcome to the future of
science.

Established in 2001, the Regeneron Westchester Science & Engineering Fair (WESEF) encourages students to participate in hands-on science by showcasing the research of high school students in Westchester & Putnam counties of New York State and sponsoring the top students from the fair to advance to the Regeneron International Science & Engineering Fair.
