The Global Council for Science and the Environment (GCSE) is proud to present the 2025 International Science Fair in partnership with the Sustainability Research and Innovation (SRI) Congress in Chicago, IL. EnvironMentors is GCSE’s flagship mentorship program that pairs high school students with science mentors to design hands-on research projects that address real environmental challenges in their communities. The program empowers youth to explore STEM pathways and become problem-solvers for a more sustainable future.
This year’s fair will feature 23 outstanding student researchers from 14 cities across the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Zambia. Held during one of the world’s premier sustainability gatherings—with over 2,000 international attendees—this event gives students a platform to present their work, connect with global leaders, and gain invaluable experience at the intersection of science, innovation, and action.
