WHAT ARE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
FAIRS?
Science and Engineering Fairs are an organized exhibition of work done
which follows specific rules and guidelines. The students compete through
their exhibits and demonstrations of projects to the judges and public.
The exhibit represents a chosen category, judged by either junior/senior
division. The exhibits will have specific designations such as: Biology,
Chemistry, Environment, Mathematics, Engineering, and Physical Science.

| Local classroom and school fairs
are the first step in the Pathway. Top 3 exhibits may wish to participate
at other fairs. Consider each fair a challenge to improve your project
under your teacher's supervision.
Students desiring to participate in the Sequence of Fairs might
consider either of the following to progress to higher competition.
**Recommended for students grades 4-8. (Could also be
considered for high school)
A. Develop project exhibit for local school fair of late winter
or early spring. If in top five exhibits of class then
prepare exhibit for the next fair in sequence.
B. Exhibit at the Science Fair of the Maricopa County Fair. If
in the top five exhibits of class then prepare for the next fair in the
sequence. Prepare to keep exhibit over summer to update for a fall exhibit
at the State Fair.
C. Maintain exhibit over summer. Prepare for display at YES
competition of the Arizona State Fair.
D. The Central Arizona Regional Science and Engineering Fair
at ASU is the highest level of competition for Science
Fairs in the greater Phoenix area.
** Recommended for High School Students Grades
9-12.
A. Either develop your new project or update the last
one developed after January I of current year.
B . All participants of CARSEF may wish to enter the next competition.
C. The Science Fair of the Maricopa County Fair is the last local
competition of the current school year. If however, this
