Who Can Participate

Any middle school or high school student located in our 18 county region (Aitkin, Beltrami, Benton, Cass, Clearwater, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, Kittson, Koochiching, Lake of the Woods, Marshall, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Pennington, Red Lake, Roseau and Wadena) is encouraged to compete.

This event is unique in that it allows middle school and high school students to get direct feedback on their science projects from some of the region’s top scientists.

Additionally, excellent prizes are given to quality projects and if at least 15 high school students participate in our fair, the top project wins the opportunity to participate in the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), the world’s largest international pre-college science competition. Over $5 million in awards will be given away.
