Mission Statement
The Colorado State Science Fair, Inc. honors excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics; providing opportunities for students from all regions of the state to create and present their research in environments that nurture interests in science and technology; promoting professional skills, high ethical standards, diversity, and continuing intellectual development.
About This Cause
The Colorado Science & Engineering Fair along with all of the 13 Regional Science Fairs are back in person for 2023 - your support will go towards making this happen! The Colorado State Science Fair, Inc. is an organization that: Organizes the infrastructure of the Colorado Science and Engineering Fair for students from all regions of the state of Colorado to present science projects to judges, representatives of scientific organizations, the public and their peers; Honors winners from Colorado regional science fairs at the annual Colorado Science and Engineering Fair; Sends finalists from the state of Colorado to the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF); Provides experiences for Colorado students to interact with their peers, with Colorado science teachers and Colorado scientists and engineers in professional and social settings; Promotes science, engineering, and technology as careers, inspiring excellence, high ethical standards and emphasizing the immense satisfaction that comes from confronting and solving intellectual problems and serving societal needs; Reinforcing in students the wonder nature instills, wherever and however possible empowering them to follow their questions and dreams; and Encourages a culture that values and nurtures diversity. We support regional science fairs by: Acting as an alternative to the affiliating with the Society for Science and the Public as a means of attending the Regeneron ISEF; Providing a forum where regional science fairs can influence policies, rules and by-laws for the state science fair; Providing rules and requirements for participation in the Colorado Science and Engineering Fair; Facilitating communication, where practical, between regional science fairs and their participants; Providing information and resources to the regional fair directors, teachers and students which will promote interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as well as excellence in scientific research; and Increasing public awareness and appreciation of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in the schools. The Colorado State Science Fair, Inc. was established in 1977 as a private, non-profit organization to run the Colorado Science and Engineering Fair (CSEF). The CSEF has actually been held since 1955 and is the state-level event in a year-long process of local and regional science fairs. More than five thousand students participate in science fair programs state-wide. The purpose of the CSEF is to stimulate student interest and encourage students in science and engineering through recognition of their research knowledge, ability and achievement. Each year, a number of experiences are made available to the students and their families to see research in action. Additionally, the judges' interviews allow the CSEF finalists a chance to interact with professional scientists and engineers. Over the years, many students have said that having the chance to meet and speak with various people about their science projects is the most beneficial aspect of the CSEF. In addition to getting the opportunity to interact with working scientists, CSEF Finalists compete for awards in 12 different categories either as an individual or as a team project. Recognition for outstanding research in each of these categories as well as various special awards are presented each year at he the CSEF Awards Ceremony. The top Senior Division projects are awarded trips to compete in the Regeneron ISEF and the top Junior Division projects are nominated for the Broadcom MASTERS competition.
