At MSEF, we are so grateful for the work of teachers and schools to develop young minds AND support science learning both inside and outside the classroom. Gaining the skills to ask questions, think analytically, and problem solve will benefit students no matter what future career path they follow. We also acknowledge the delicate planning that goes into integrating elements of science learning into your yearly. curriculum


So as we start the new school year we wanted to share this appreciation and say


THANK YOU!

HOW CAN WE HELP?


If you think of student-led, independent STEM projects as a journey, what are the tools they need for a successful trip? 

  • A map from point A to B
  • The right equipment and tools
  • A guidebook to know what to expect
  • Training to learn the skills and build stamina


MSEF strives to be your partner in supporting student STEM learning. We continue to work to update materials and prerequisites to eliminate barriers to participation in the Fair process to benefit all Middle School and High School students across the state.


  • Follow this Roadmap for an overview of the Science & Engineering Fair experience.


  • Check out the updated 'Resources' page on the scifair.com website as well as the Fairs pages for project manuals, regional contacts, and FAQs.



While these materials provide a great starting place, don't miss out on the opportunities below and let us know how else we can help.
