Demonstrate your knowledge

Students have the opportunity to showcase projects that exhibit not only scientific, but creative, ideas. Within 11 categories, ranging from engineering and behavioral science to environmental science and astronomy, students perform experiments, test theories, record observations and learn more about the scientific process.

Approximately 550 students come to the Eastern South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã Science and Engineering Fair from 33 counties in South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã and Iowa. Students in grades 6-12 compete for more than $7,000 in awards and scholarships from SDSU and community organizations. And, not only do we honor student achievement, but we recognize outstanding teachers through several awards as well.

The grand champions in the Senior Division are able to represent our territory at the Intel held every year in May. At the international fair, students will compete again, only this time about 1,500 students from all over the United States and more than 70 countries come together to present their discoveries.
