Winners have the opportunity to participate in the Delaware Valley Fair and potentially, the International Science and Engineering Fair.

Academy is made possible through a partnership of Lehigh University, participating school districts, area businesses and organizations, parents and college students, who serve as volunteer mentors/tutors
