The Massachusetts Science & Engineering Fair (MSEF) is the culmination of programming for middle school students who have produced science or engineering projects, exhibited in local school or Regional Fairs and advanced to statewide competition.
During the fair, students have an opportunity to showcase all their hard work and creativity through oral presentations and responding to questions from the judges, students, and members of their community. Although science and engineering fairs still involve an element of competition, this experience celebrates each student’s learning journey. Receiving meaningful feedback from their peers and professionals in a STEM field is a powerful experience that has a lasting positive impact on students
Student projects are judged at all fairs, the results are announced, and awards are presented at public ceremonies.
