WHAT IS ENVISION?

Research from home

for girls and genderqueer students

ENVISION is an annual international research competition for female and genderqueer high school students interested in STEM. Students work individually or in groups of up to four members to write a formal research proposal. Besides monetary awards, participating in ENVISION offers numerous benefits including practicing formal scientific writing, literature review, and teamwork and collaboration.
