STS助力TA们翠录梦校
2026年1月7日，再生元科学天才奖STS公布了TOP300的获奖名单，有方学子今年在STS多个学科中取得了佳绩！恭喜他们！
在有方STS获奖学员中，就有不少学员在收获一段独特的科研经历的同时，还翠鹿梦校继续深造！
曾参加过STS的Tony同学，在早申阶段顺利斩获宾大Offer👇
有方Tony同学/ED录取宾大
⭐计算机、数学、物理都参加了美国国家级竞赛
⭐利用课余时间完成了“自传感软体机器人”项目，并一举获得ISEF、STS顶级科研赛事奖项
>>点击回顾Tony同学专访：躺进宾大！北京“奖王”男孩仅靠一个项目拿下ISEF、STS大奖！在有方做科研真的可以“一石二鸟”？
在采访时，Tony同学坦言宾大想要的学生和其他藤校很不同。在宾大招生官的眼中，像STS这样的实践类比赛，相较于纯粹的学术性竞赛，还是更具说服力的。
Tony同学表示：“有方老师经过对历年ISEF地区赛事的数据分析，发现在我所在的州做偏理不偏工的这种项目，他从课题创新性、实验可行性及区域赛事特点等维度进行了专业分析，指出软体机器人方向不仅更符合我们州的评审喜好，且这个课题是带实验的，是一个比较前沿的课题。巧妙地将兴趣与参赛需求相结合，实现了二者的完美融合！”
“我曾以为，只要项目做得好，自然能脱颖而出，如同金子总会发光。然而事实并非如此，你得告诉人家它在发光。”Tony同学对自己的科研经历有说不完的话，相信也正是感受到了他对科研的这份热忱，所以才得到了宾大招生官的肯定！
科研是周期性的项目，需要较长的准备时间。如果你目前正值G11，STS绝对是在高中阶段极限背提的不二之选！
