Judges Needed for 2018 State Science and Technology Fair of Iowa

Adults! The state science fair in Ames needs judges. It runs March 22–23 (Thursday & Friday); you can judge one day or both. Visit their website for details.


Enter your project in the Fair (January 26, 2018)

Here’s what you need to do:

  • Read the For Students And Teachers page and follow its directions.
  • Check the Forms Guide to find out what forms and certificates you need to fill out and when.
  • Finish your experiment and complete your paperwork.
  • Fill out the Student Entry Form? and submit it.
  • Send us copies (by U.S. mail or email) of your Student Entry Signature Page and all your other paperwork. The deadline is February 26, 2018.
  • Check the status of your entry on the Status of Student Entries page.
  • Bring the originals of all paperwork with you to the Fair on March 17, 2018.

What about the statewide registration system?

You may have heard that a statewide science-fair registration system is in the works. It’s to be on the state fair (SSTFI) website; it expands the SSTFI registration system from last year to add EISEF and WISEF (western Iowa). When finished, it should make life easier for you and your adult sponsor: you can attend both state and your regional fair, but you’ll register and upload paperwork only once, with both fairs getting the information. We’re looking forward to it.

Unfortunately, it’s not working yet. In fact, it’s not working so badly that we no longer believe it will be ready in time for EISEF 2018 (by mid-February). For EISEF, you’ll enter your project on our website and upload your paperwork to us — just like in 2017. For the state fair, you’ll register on their website — just like in 2017.

So, we’re asking to bear with us. This year, you’ll separately enter at EISEF and register at SSTFI. Let’s hope that in 2019 you can do it once for both fairs.
