Out of thousands of middle school scientists across the nation, seven extraordinary students from Texas have been named as part of the Top 30 finalists in the 2025 Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge — the nation’s premier STEM competition for young innovators.
Their work spans breakthroughs in clean energy, AI, health care and environmental sustainability — but what truly sets them apart is their commitment to excellence, integrity and service.

As they prepare to compete on the national stage in Washington, D.C., we proudly celebrate their achievements and the spirit of Texas they carry with them!
