About the Capital Science & Engineering Fair
The Capital Science & Engineering Fair was established to provide high school students from South Central Wisconsin (and beyond) the opportunity to showcase their research (grades 9-12 public, private, and home school are eligible). The annual fair for 2023 happend March 11 at the Madison Central Library (201 W Mifflin St., Madison, WI) - 2023 Flyer. Information about the 2024 Fair will be released in the fall. 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. Students can submit notice of interest in fall 2023; it is requested by Dec 15th, and registration for 2024, will be due Jan 15, 2024. Safety forms must be submitted by March 1.
Participants also compete for an opportunity to enter the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair and the Badger State Science & Engineering Fair (for which all participants may register). ISEF forms here. We had 7 Wisconsin students that went in 2022!
Support for how to complete the CSEF forms that connect to ISEF can be found in this video (from Karen Lindholm-Rynkiewicz in Muskego-Norway).
