STEM FAIR: FEBRUARY 2022

The 64th Annual Rochester Regional STEM  Fair will take place on Friday, February 18, 2022 in the Regional Sports Complex of the Rochester Community and Technical College (RCTC). Research paper judging will occur the evening of Tuesday, February 15, 2022 at Friedell Middle School.

All students, grades 6-12, who attend a school within the Rochester Public School District boundaries are eligible to participate. Regional prizes are awarded in many categories. Top research papers and projects advance to state competition.

This year's STEM Fair will include a virtual review of project videos prior to the in-person portion of the STEM Fair, similar to last year's all-virtual Fair judging. 

The in-person STEM Fair schedule has been redesigned so that the Fair will take place entirely during normal school hours. The Fair table layout will be designed to keep students from each school together within the Fair space, as opposed to mixed with students from other schools.

Should students not feel comfortable with attending the in-person STEM Fair, an entirely online judging option will be available.

REGISTRATION for the STEM Fair is open until January 21, 2022.
