The online registration system is ready for new applications. The latest ISEF forms are now accessible as well. We will be having a few changes in the Precerfication process. Precerfication is to help Junior and Senior Division students make sure their experiments are allowed under ISEF rules. Projects that do not follow the rules WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. Make sure this does not happen to you. Note, not all projects require precerfication. In general, projects requiring precertification deal with biological, human or hazardous materials.

Online registration is currently disabled, but you can start on your project for the March 2011 Mercer Science and Engineering Fair. You should download the 2011 ISEF forms and rules from the Society for Science & the Public document library. The links in the online applications have changed, so use this one. These forms are required for Junior (grades 6-8) and Senior (grades 9-12) divisions.

The 2010 Intel International Science And Engineering Fair wrapped up on Friday May 14th with the new award, the Gordon E. Moore award. Our finalists included Neeli Mishra from West Windsor-Plainsboro High South and Akreeti Maskey from Hamilton High East.

The 2010 Mercer Science and Engineering Fair results are now online. The Grand Prize winner was Neeli Mishra from West Windsor-Plainsboro High South. The first runner up was Akreeti Maskey from Hamilton High East. Both will be competing in the 2010 Intel International Science And Engineering Fair. ISEF forms for 2011 will be available at Society for Science and the Public ISEF website at the end of May.

Our sponsorship letter (PDF version) and fair brochure (914Kbyte PDF file) provides a more detailed overview of the fair and how contributions are used to cover the cost of the Fair and to send the grand prize winner to compete at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.

ELEMENTARY Division

John Wu and Swetha Chandrasekar represented the Mercer Science and Engineering Fair at this year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair held in Reno, NV along over 1500 students from around the world. This year we had a winner at ISEF.  John Wu, with his project Is this parking ticket warranted? took 4th place in the Computer Science category.

We would like to congratulate John and Swetha and look forward to seeing them and you at out 2010 Mercer Science and Engineering Fair this coming March. Stay tuned for details this fall.

Looking to help out with the Mercer Science and Engineering Fair? We might be able to use your expertise as a judge. If so then send an email note to Bob Bushar, our judge coordinator.

Judges should have at least a bachelors degree and/or work experience in a scientific or engineering field. Judges will judge projects within their area of expertise although it might be wider than you might think.
