Mercer Science and Engineering Fair News
2011 Science Fair Registration Open

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 Ready for 2010 Fair

The online registration system for the 2010 Mercer Science and Engineering Fair is now operational. To get started, just sign up for an account and create an application. This can be done BEFORE you start your project. Teachers should also sign up for an account to manage or enter applications for their students. This is a new system and should be easier to use than our older system, so any feedback is welcome. Online help for the registration system is available now.
