Who may participate in the Region III Science & Engineering Fair?
听
We are looking for the top projects from your school fair from grades 5-12 and recommend
sending only students who are overall fair winners or who place at the top of your
fair
categories (1st & 2nd places only or 1st, 2nd, & 3rd places).听 We understand that some categories may have several excellent projects
while other categories may have poor projects.听
Therefore, the final decision is left to the school fair director to determine which
projects best represent the excellence of their school. Please make sure all your Regional participants complete the online registration by
the January 31, 2025 deadline so that we have plenty of time to evaluate their status. We request that the science
fair school director enter all student registrations online; however, please be sure
to enter the correct spelling for names. Also, make sure your 5th graders understand that they are not eligible to progress to the state science fair
until they reach 6th grade, but we invite them to participate at the regional fair to gain experience and confidence
for next year.

How do participating students register?

What forms should be sent?
There are a number of forms required from each participant.听 The required forms are

2025 Intel ISEF International Rules and Guidelines.听
Each participating project must send ONE copy of each project-required form to the
science fair office. You may scan your forms and email them as a PDF document to听doke@ulm.edu.听 听
IMPORTANT: Do not send the originals of the forms to our office鈥攖hese are to be kept
