What Is Minnesota State Science & Engineering Fair?
The Minnesota State Science & Engineering Fair is the statewide research competition for students in grades 6-12 who first compete at an affiliated Minnesota regional fair and are selected to advance. Middle-school projects compete in grades 6-8 and high-school projects in grades 9-12. Homeschool students and students whose schools do not hold a fair can contact the regional director nearest their home.
Students conduct original science or engineering research, complete the applicable Regeneron ISEF and Scientific Review Committee forms, submit an abstract of at most 250 words, upload a presentation video and project materials in zFairs, and present in person to STEM judges. Individual projects and same-division teams of up to three students are allowed. Top high-school projects may advance to Regeneron ISEF, and general and sponsored awards vary by year.
