Please check https://www.societyforscience.org/isef/affiliated-fair-network/ for the fair that is accepting projects from your county.

On March 25, 2023 the in-person fair returned to the Alumni Coliseum at Eastern Kentucky University!  Nearly 300 participants competed in 21 STEM categories as well as for a variety of special awards.  Middle School students grades 6 – 8 were selected to compete in the Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge .  High School students grades 9 – 12 were selected to present at the 2023 Regeneron International Science & Engineering Fair.

Check out the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair where Team Kentucky competed May 13-19, 2023 in Dallas, Texas.  Regeneron ISEF 2024 will take place in Los Angeles, California from May 11-17, 2024.  Visit here for Regeneron ISEF 2024 information.
