Frequently Asked Questions
Why do we need the Science & Engineering Fair?
The purpose of the Science & Engineering Fair is to provide our students with the opportunity to further explore their natural curiosity and engage in scientific investigation. Participating in the Science & Engineering Fair promotes students’ interest in learning science, technology, and engineering.
Who can participate in the Science & Engineering Fair?
All of our students (kindergarten through fifth grade) are welcome to submit a project to the Science & Engineering Fair. Students in third through fifth grades may choose one of these two categories to enter:
Project for fun
Project to be judged for eligibility to enter the NCSEF Regional Fair
All projects will be judged, but those hoping to advance to the NCSEF Regional Fair are judged in more detail, as they must carefully follow the scientific process.
