Massachusetts MIDDLE SCHOOL Science & Engineering Fair

Every year, thousands of students across Massachusetts put their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test through science fairs at the school, district, and regional levels. The best of these projects advance to the iconic Massachusetts Science & Engineering Fair, an annual celebration of student ingenuity that has been celebrating young minds since 1949. This event is a showcase of the power of independent student-led stem research.

We invite STEM professionals and academics to volunteer as judges for this exciting event. Judging is a chance to make a meaningful impact on students, offering them encouragement and inspiration as they share their research. For many students, presenting their projects to a STEM professional is a milestone experience that builds confidence and expands their view of what’s possible.

As a judge, you’ll also find value in this experience!

• Reignite your passion for STEM,
• Reconnect with your own science fair memories,
• Engage with the community in a rewarding way,
• And support the next generation of thinkers, innovators, and leaders

Join us in shaping the future of STEM by volunteering as a judge. Your involvement can make a lasting difference in the lives of students across the Commonwealth.
