Logo
The theme of the 20th ISSF in 2025 is “Explore Visionary Future,” aiming to explore the future of the world through visionary thought. The event’s logo portrays the world with a circle around it, forming an eye shape that symbolizes visionary thought. Additionally, the circle surrounding the world in the logo represents holding the wrist, signifying power, coordination, and mutual support.

Overall, our logo represents the future of the world, where the real and virtual worlds are connected. It aims to bring students from different parts of the world together to use STEM education and leadership to build a sustainable future with visionary ideas.
