Capital Science & Engineering Fair

About the Capital Science & Engineering Fair

The Capital Science & Engineering Fair was established to provide high school students from South Central Wisconsin the opportunity to showcase their research (grades 9-12 public, private, and home school are eligible). With its annual fair to be held on the third Saturday of February at the Madison Central Library (201 W Mifflin St., Madison, WI), the fair inspires enthusiasm for science and engineering research among Wisconsin students. It provides a support system to assist students as they actively participate in science and engineering endeavors. The 2019 Fair was held on February 16th - this flyer has more information. Each year, submitting notice of interest is requested by Nov 15th, and registration is due Dec 15th (some limited flexibility). 

Participants also compete for an opportunity to enter the Badger State Science & Engineering Fair and the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.
