California State Science Fair

The 60th Annual California State Science Fair was held at the Science Center on May 2-3, 2011.This year, 1,000 students from 403 schools throughout California competed in the two-day event that recognizes the state's best student research projects.

California State Science FairTo compete, students must place first, second or third in their category at an affiliated county or regional science fair. The projects span more than 20 categories—from aerodynamics to zoology—and are judged by a volunteer pool of over 300 scientists and engineers from private industry and higher education. In addition to the winners in each category, top honors go to Student of the Year (senior only), and Project of the Year (in both junior and senior high divisions). Science teachers, nominated by their students, also compete for Science Teacher of the Year in the junior and senior divisions. Approximately $50,000 in cash prizes are awarded at the California State Science Fair each year.
