Welcome to the 67th Annual Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair - 2020 -2021!
We are looking forward to the 67th Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair in March, 2021. In order to ensure a safe STEM Fair experience for all stakeholders, we will be closely following all state and local COVID-19 guidelines, including a modified judging day if necessary. The SRC Pre-Approval Process is now open for students, which will be the same as last year. In whatever educational format students find themselves this next school year, doing an independent, creative STEM project will provide a valuable springboard to future learning in all disciplines. It is now more critical than ever that we continue to inspire and reward the next generation of scientists, engineers, and programmers through participation in these projects.
Check the HOW TO PARTICIPATE page for instructions and videos on how to participate in the 67th Annual GSDSEF.
Congratulations to our Grand Award Winners and Runners Up this year at the 2020 Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair!
