CASEF needs your support!

We are looking for $500 donation to be a category sponsor. This donation will cover the top score scholarships in each division. The categories are Life Science, Chemistry, Physics, Medicine & Health, Social & Behavioral Sciences, Computer Science, Engineering & Applied Technology, Earth & Environmental Science.
The sponsorship will be recognized in our electronic and print media, the printed program, and signage at the fair as well as the award ceremony.
If you or your business want to support tomorrow’s scientists today, invest in CASEF Awards. The money goes directly to the students! Contact our Fair Director. Valerie Knowles’ email address is: [email protected]

CASEF Needs Your Help!

Please help us spread the word!

The Capital Area Science & Engineering Fair (CASEF) is a volunteer-led organization of teachers and business professionals committed to giving Pennsylvania students in grades 9–12 the opportunity to compete at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF)—the world's largest international science competition for high school students.

Learn more about ISEF: https://www.societyforscience.org/isef/

CASEF has expanded to serve the entire Northern Tier of Pennsylvania and Central Pennsylvania, including the Penn State region, so more students can participate.

Students who compete in PJAS are welcome to enter the same project in CASEF. All projects entered must adhere to CASEF rules. CASEF provides a pathway to qualify for ISEF, opening the door to an incredible international opportunity.

If you know a student, parent, teacher, or anyone interested in science, engineering, robotics, technology, computers, or mathematics, please share this information and help us reach them.

Together, we can make sure every Pennsylvania student has the opportunity to compete, innovate, and succeed.

Thank you for supporting CASEF. Any questions, please email us at [email protected]

The Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) is the world’s largest international pre-college science competition. Each year, more than 1,600 high-school students from nearly every state in the U.S. and more than 60 countries, regions, and territories compete at Society-affiliat...

The best way to start getting ideas for science fair projects is to think of problems around your house, school, community, state or even the world. Check out the newspapers, etc. and even the United Nations most important problems. Can you come up with possible solutions through experimentation, engineering, etc. Write down all ideas! Go to casef.org for resources on how to do a science fair project.
