Do you think today’s students could benefit from more experiences as productive problem solvers? Or should they enhance their abilities to think critically and creatively? Well, those are just a couple benefits emerging from student participation in science-fair activities. We invite you to get involved in our effort to empower the youth of Weld, Larimer, and Jackson counties to engage in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics pursuits through science fair participation at the regional level.

The Longs Peak Science & Engineering Fair (LPSEF), a 501(c)(3) organization, is the only Colorado science fair serving Weld, Larimer, and Jackson County 5th thru 12th grade students. Each year, over 2500 students from our region participate in school and district fairs determined to move on to regional competition at the LPSEF. We anticipate ~350 student entrants at the 2020 event, all striving to advance to higher-level competition at the state and international fairs. Winning at any level provides a propitious boost to a student scientist or engineer’s future. As most non-profits do, we rely on the community coming together to make the LPSEF work — and to keep it a high-quality, well-respected regional competition. In addition to monetary support and awards, nearly 200 engineers, scientists, educators, and college students are needed to adequately judge the anticipated 350 student researchers who will present ~300 innovative science-fair projects at the 2020 event on Wednesday, February 26th.

The February 26th fair will again be held at the Island Grove Event Center in Greeley, Colorado. The success of the fair depends on both increased and new donor support as well as increased volunteerism.

Your involvement is not limited to cash and merchandise gifts—donations of time and expertise are also highly valued. On the day of the event—Wednesday, February 26—you and/or your employees can get directly involved by volunteering as display inspectors and project judges. By clicking on this link, you can register in just a couple minutes: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScDqbeg8eyk80BECcYUrwu9QLSg6TFbkNp9rXDUBBLll7HPNA/viewform

You can help enrich students’ lives—perhaps budding inventors, engineers, mathematicians, or researchers who one day may affect countless people’s lives—by working with the LPSEF to enhance the 21st Century skills of today’s regional youth and to stimulate their interest in STEM-related fields.
