Elementary project restrictions - Elementary Division not available after 2021
The Elementary Division is not support after 2021
The Elementary division has the least amount of paperwork and the most restrictions on the kinds of projects a student can do. All projects fall into one category.
- General Science
Projects in this division can be registered after they are completed. In fact, some elementary schools hold their own science fair and send the winners to the Mercers Science and Engineering Fair (MSEF). Check with your school for details. If your school does not have a science fair then you may participate in MSEF without entering any prior science fair competition. Teachers may register their students online and provide the students with the printed applications that they will bring to the fair. Students or parents that register online will print out their own applications and bring them to the fair.
