A great article featuring BCA's Mechatronics Lab and our Biomedical Research program.

NJ Technical High Schools Foster Innovative Science Research (NJBIZ) - Career Tech NJ NJ technical high schools are driving advanced science research, with students earning Regeneron honors, developing patent-pending innovations, and conducting biomedical, cancer and biotech studies through hands-on labs and mentorship.

Wishing our Three Finalists from the Bergen County Academies all the best at tonight's 2026 Regeneron's Science Talent Search Awards Ceremony in Washington, DC.

Regeneron recently posted about our amazing finalists..."At the Bergen County Academies, three of this year’s Regeneron STS finalists built their research projects through the school’s rigorous Experimental Biology lab. Each student independently formulated experiments, developed in-vitro models, and ran analyses while receiving guidance from their mentors which allowed them to tackle complex scientific questions, refine their techniques, and gain confidence as young researchers, preparing them for their award-winning STS projects."
