What is NCISC?
- This is an annual science competition for American high school students, the North Carolina International Science Challenge (NCISC).
- In the competition, students complete a STEM research project or a Maker project.
- An abstract explaining the research problem is submitted for the competition, and the research is presented in its entirety to a panel of scientists and engineers.
- NCISC is organized jointly with the North Carolina Science, Mathematics and Technology Education (SMT Center) and the Morehead Planetarium and Science Center.
