The Eastern Iowa Science and Engineering Fair (EISEF) now accepts exhibits from 6th-grade students, starting with the 2007 Fair. We made this change in response to long-term pleas from eastern Iowa’s middle-school teachers. It brought us into step with Iowa’s other ISEF-affiliated fairs, SSTFI and WISEF.
The 6th-graders compete as juniors, under the same rules and in the same divisions (biological, physical, or team) as the 7th- and 8th-grade students.

Welcome aboard, sixth-graders! Have fun doing your experiments—we’ll see you on March 16, 2024.
