Seniors (grade12) should check out the Regeneron Science Talent Search. This is sponsored by the Society for Science and the Public that also runs the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. This may be the same project that is entered in the 2018 Mercer Science and Engineering Fair.

Registration for the 2018 Mercer Science and Engineering Fair is now open. Please see the calender and event list for related dates.

Nikhil Gopal and Kiruthika Devasenapathy at Intel ISEF 2017

Nikhil Gopal's project, "Early Detection of Malaria Infection with Isothermal Loop Amplification (LAMP)", earned him a 3rd place award in Translational Medical Science at Intel ISEF 2017...

The award ceremony is unfortunately cancelled due to bad weather. All awards will be available for pick up on Thursday between 3pm and 7pm. Awards and projects must be picked up by 7pm or they will be discard.

We congratulate our grand prize winner, Nikhil Gopal, with the project "Early Detection of Malaria Infection with Isothermal Loop Amplification (LAMP)". He and the first runner up, Kiruthika Devasenapathy, with the project "An Immunologic Basis for the Pathogenesis of Autism Spectrum Disorder: Toll-like Receptor Mechanisms and Downstream Processes", will be competing in this year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.

New registration is closed. If you have an account and have started but not completed your application then please complete it immediately. You will need to print the MSEF application, check in, check out and optionally the MSEF research plan and abstract forms to bring to the fair at Rider University along with your project on Sunday between 11am and 4pm. Make sure your board does not have any Restricted Content or you will not be able to participate. Contact use if you are having any problems.

We look forward to seeing you at this year's fair. Hopefully the registration process has not been too daunting. You should be bringing your project and the following items found on the Print tab of the online application:

•     MSEF Application **
•     MSEF Check in
•     MSEF Check out
•     MSEF Research Plan
•     MSEF Abstract

** Note: The MSEF Application just added for Junior and Senior Divisions. Please print it from the Print tab in the online application if you do not have it yet. Blank copies will be available at the fair.

If you cannot see these on the Print tab then the application is incomplete. If you have not seen the Print tab on the application then you may not have created one....

Time to sign up for the 2017 Mercer Science and Engineering Fair. You can do so even if you have not started your project yet or if you are already working on it. You just need to complete the application process before the deadlines. We hope to see you at the fair. Let us know if you are having any issues.

Two Junior Division MSEF winners have gone on to be semifinalists in the Broadcom Master. Dora Krstic, an 8th grader at Saint Ann School, was selected for her project "Comparison Between Visual and Auditory Reaction Time – Timing It Right at Swim Meets." Sonja Michaluk is an 8th grader at Timberlane Middle School who had a project entitled "A Novel Mathematical Model to Simulate the Impact of Potential Land Development on Chemical and Biological Stream Health." We wish them the best and hope they make it into the 30 top Finalists.

The 2016 MSEF Grand Prize winner, Nikhil Gopal, is one of sixteen global finalists in the Google Science Fair. We wish Nikhil the best and look forward to seeing how he does in this competition. Nikhil received a 2nd Place award at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair as well.
