Sparking Student Passion for STEM
The Maine State Science Fair (MSSF) is an exciting opportunity for Maine high school students to pursue their interest in science and engineering and present results of their projects to fellow students and expert STEM professionals.
MSSF is open to all students from all public, private, parochial and home schools (grades 9-12) throughout Maine and is organized by The Jackson Laboratory and the Maine Mathematics & Science Alliance.
Students choose a topic, conduct background research, design experiments or build prototypes, create research plans and submit their proposals. If accepted by the fair, then they run the experiment, draft an abstract, create a project visual display, and present their project to judges during the fair.
Educators receive FREE science fair-specific professional development and support throughout the year from MMSA.
