Welcome to the EISEF web site!
|
The Eastern Iowa Science and Engineering Fair (EISEF) is a science and engineering project competition for students in grades 6–12 from schools throughout eastern Iowa. Each March the students come to the Fair to exhibit the results of their experiments and compete for prizes. The top prize: a trip to the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair the following May, where they compete with the best students from around the world.
Why do we do this?
- to get students excited about science and engineering.
- to support their teachers in encouraging them.
- because it's fun!
This web site is a resource for everybody who makes EISEF happen. Follow the links at the top of this page and in the EISEF News section below to find what you need.
