Science & Engineering FairShowcase your Science Knowledge

Students who participate in science fairs deepen their knowledge in a specific topic, strengthen their public speaking and presentation skills, exercise their ability to defend their ideas and surround themselves with like-minded science peers. The Regional Science & Engineering Fair winners move on to the Kansas State Science Fair, which leads to the national competition that offers students the opportunity to compete for prizes and accolades.
