6^th Grade Teachers and Students—Welcome to the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair!!  Participation in this iconic science competition is a wonderful opportunity for your students to showcase their science/engineering/mathematics knowledge.  We strongly recommend that 6^th grade teachers and students attend a workshop on Thursday, September 19^th at the San Diego County Office of Education which will explain how to develop competitive projects for the GSDSEF. 

This workshop is also for any 7th and 8th grade teachers new to the science fair experience.

Sign up for the workshop.

Proposals and Certifications - Students will now have to make GSDSEF accounts and submit their Proposals and any necessary Certification Forms and other forms BEFORE beginning on their projects. They may proceed with their projects AFTER receiving GSDSEF approval to proceed.  This should happen in September and October, 2019.   

Rules and Guidelines - ISEF and CSEF have updated rules and guidelines for 2020. These will be be enforced at the GSDSEF in order for students to qualify for ISEF and CSEF. This includes having all necessary forms signed and approved before experimentation begins.
