Biogeneius challenge - biogeneius challenge: known as the institutes flagship program the biogeneius challenge provides high school students the opportunity to compete and be recognized for outstanding research in Biotechnology. Having completed its 25th year as a program managed and hosted by the institute participants - over 1100 high school students to-date - design an original independent biotech research project that is judged by an expert panel. The top participants showcase their research at the bio international convention to over 16,000 convention attendees. In 2010 the institute restructured the biogeneius challenge to work directly with state partners specifically state bioscience organizations. This new model designed to be a sustainable resource network by working with and through state organizations has had great success. The result of our partnerships has been a dramatic increase in the number of biogeneius participants. The 2024 events took place at biofuture october 28
