Teachers and/or advisors must register in STEMWizard before their students! All projects must have a teacher or advisor on record.
Your teachers and/or advisors must register before you will be eligible to register. AFTER they register, you can register yourself in STEMWizard.
Our web-based software, STEM Wizard, allows teachers better access to student work and students will be able to view their paperwork in almost real time. Students interested in participating at the state level will have their paperwork automatically sent to the state fair AFTER fair day. Please feel free to reach out if you have issues or questions.
CSRSEF follows most of the same rules as the International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF). Check out the ISEF Rules & Guidelines and CSRSEF's Display and Safety Rules to learn more.
Science projects should be hypothesis-based and follow the scientific method. Engineering projects should have engineering goals and produce a product.
Many class assignments, senior projects, summer research projects, and displays created for other science competitions can be entered into the fair with minimal changes.
As an ISEF affiliated fair, all projects intended for competition at CSRSEF must receive SRC/IRB clearance BEFORE they are allowed to compete.
To request review, you must:
Contact the SRC to request review through STEMWizard. Remember, YOU must initiate contact with SRC. If you fail to reach out to the SRC, you project will NOT be reviewed.
Click on the SRC milestone at the top of your STEMWizard page, and answer the question. This will turn the milestone green.
Upon receipt of your request, the SRC will be in touch with further information.
There is a Form Uploader App for your phone that you can use for STEMWizard when needing to upload forms.
While this option exists, double check that the form you uploaded has the right information. Download the form on a computer after upload, to make sure that it is not blank and has all the right information.
