CASEF Needs Your Help!
Please help us spread the word!
The Capital Area Science & Engineering Fair (CASEF) is a volunteer-led organization of teachers and business professionals committed to giving Pennsylvania students in grades 9–12 the opportunity to compete at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF)—the world's largest international science competition for high school students.
Learn more about ISEF: https://www.societyforscience.org/isef/
CASEF has expanded to serve the entire Northern Tier of Pennsylvania and Central Pennsylvania, including the Penn State region, so more students can participate.
Students who compete in PJAS are welcome to enter the same project in CASEF. All projects entered must adhere to CASEF rules. CASEF provides a pathway to qualify for ISEF, opening the door to an incredible international opportunity.
If you know a student, parent, teacher, or anyone interested in science, engineering, robotics, technology, computers, or mathematics, please share this information and help us reach them.
Together, we can make sure every Pennsylvania student has the opportunity to compete, innovate, and succeed.
Thank you for supporting CASEF
