To see the excitement on the participant’s faces when they see their hard work pay-off is truly heartwarming.”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.Regional winners, both in team and individual competition, qualify for sectional exams, which will be held March 15 at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC). Illinois state finals are scheduled for April 17-20 at the I Hotel and Conference Center in Champaign. The 300 division (or small school division) will compete on the eighteenth and the 700 division will compete on the nineteenth.Team and individual results are listed below.
