Dear Educator,

Thank-you for all of your efforts in helping your students to more fully appreciate and understand all aspects of the sciences, math and engineering.  When it comes down to it, you have been entrusted to help shape and mold the future of your students, our country and our world.  This truly is an awesome responsibility.  Remember that all of our famous scientists and engineers were once students themselves who were probably inspired and certainly encouraged by their teachers.

We believe that science fairs are an important means of teaching students about science or engineering through hands-on experiences.  That is why we are here to help you prepare your students to undertake science projects and to help you to possibly host a science fair at your school.

Please follow the links below to key areas of support.  If you have never run a science fair before or would like to learn more about running a science fair at your school, NEOSEF offers a free teachers' in-service in the October-November timeframe before the NEOSEF Fair.  If you missed the seminar this year, look for it next year.  Follow this link to get the details from the latest workshop.  in-service details
