We're here to make it easier to get students Science Fair Ready

The Science & Engineering Fair model is iconic and the shared experience connects people across generations. Participating in Science Fair continues to provide a unique journey for each student to explore meaningful questions, paving the way to academic growth and personal self-discovery.  Check out our Roadmap to learn more. 

Through student-led projects students can meet MA STE Standards, such as:

·       Ask questions and define problems 

·       Plan and carry out investigations 

·       Analyze and interpret data

We’ve been diligently working on developing tools and programming that helps students build understanding, innovate around local and global issues, and see themselves as STEM learners.

Become a member of MSEF's 2023 Science Fair Ready Network and receive program opportunities, training, and materials. Sign up now and request a free 'Classroom Kit' of posters and prompts to foster student curiosity for strong project starts, thanks to the support of National Grid, MathWorks and DCU for Kids.

Download the Steps to Get Science Fair Ready poster that breaks down the steps for science research, engineering design, computer science, and mathematics.
