Area’s Top Students Compete in Annual WYSE Competition at SIC

Honors and Awards//SIC Foundation
March 7, 2013

High school students from the area converged on the campus of Southeastern Illinois College last month to take a series of regional exams as part of the Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering (WYSE) academic competition. 

Regional winners, both in team and individual competition, qualify for sectional exams, which will be held later this month at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC).  Illinois state finals are scheduled for April 10-11 at University of Illinois in Champaign.

Exams administered during the three levels of WYSE competition are designed to test students’ knowledge of biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering graphics, English, math, and physics. 

Jason Fitzgerald, chair of the Math and Science Division at the college, along with Dr. Mila Maring-Sims, anatomy and physiology instructor at SIC and regional WYSE director, hosted the event.

“The WYSE competition is not only a great experience for our local high school students, but it is also a great experience for our SIC students,” said Fitzgerald. 

Fitzgerald noted that many of the Math & Science Club students who volunteered their time to help with the event are former WYSE participants and they look forward to the time when they  can again be part of the WYSE competition by proctoring and grading exams, handing out awards, and helping out in any way possible. 

“The WYSE competition is always fun for those involved and provides students and faculty with many lasting memories,” remarked Fitzgerald.

Team and individual results are listed below.  Teams marked with an asterisk move on to the sectional competition at SIUC, and individuals marked with an asterisk, who are not members of an advancing team, are allowed to take the sectional exams as individual competitors.

As a special note, Gallatin County High School won the small school division team award with a perfect score.
