NWRSTF provides students with a larger stage at the regional level to present original research and celebrates the hard work and novel discoveries of young scientists who bring a fresh perspective to significant global challenges.

Challenges
NWRSTF is introducing a series of STEAM Challenges for students to consider for the next competition. The objective is to strengthen students’ capability to engage with science for a better future.
