Helpful Science Fair Sites: The Northern Indiana Regional Science and Engineering Fair is affiliated with the Indiana State Science and Engineering Fair, sponsored by the Science Education Foundation of Indiana, Inc. (SEFI). The SEFI site contains much information about Science Fairs around the state as well as project information, and can be accessed at:
One of our local high school teachers has a very helpful site for students working on research-based science projects. Check it out at:
The Indiana Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (JSHS) at Indiana State University is a science, mathematics, and humanities research competition open to high school students in grades 9-12 who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. It is funded by a military grant from the Research Offices of the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force; the grant is administered by the Academy of Applied Science in Concord, New Hampshire (603-228-4520). We encourage groups of students to attend as observers and will invite approximately 15-20 students to make presentation. Each year the Indiana Regional will have a poster session for any student who would like to present their research in a poster format. More information about the JSHS can be found at: www.indstate.edu/jshs/jshs.htm
The Indiana Junior Academy of Sciences at IU-Bloomington (JAS) recognizes high school students who are exemplary in overall scholarship as well as scientific ability and achievement, and to recognize among those students one student as most outstanding. To read more about this scholarship competition, check out: www.indiana.edu/~college/science/academy/ Sponsored by the Northern Indiana Regional Science and Engineering Fair affiliate, Intel, the Science Talent Search (STS) is one of the oldest nationwide competitions for pre-college science students. Eligible students include high school seniors in the United States and territories, and American students attending school abroad. Each year, over 1500 students accept the challenge of completing an entry for the Intel Science Talent Search, with finalists competing for the top prize, a $100,000 scholarship. Read more about STS at: The Siemens Competition (formerly Siemens-Westinghouse Competition) in Math, Science & Technology recognizes remarkable talent early on, fostering individual growth for high school students who are willing to challenge themselves through science research. Through this competition, students have an opportunity to achieve national recognition for science research projects that they complete in high school. It is administered by The College Board and funded by the Siemens Foundation. The University of Notre Dame sponsors one of the regional competition sites. More information about the Siemens Competition can be found at: www.siemens-foundation.org/competition/ The Dupont Challenge Science Essay Competition is one of the foremost student science and technology prize programs in the United States and Canada. The Dupont Challenge is in its 21st year and has recognized thousands of winners. Many of these bright, talented teenagers have become- or are in the process of becoming- our nation's scientists, engineers, doctors, or teachers of science and mathematics. The DuPont Challenge has been a significant stepping stone to their career choice. For more information, check out:
