Twin Cities Regional Science Fairs - education made practical and fun!

The Twin Cities Regional Science Fair (TCRSF) offers an opportunity for students to participate in a premiere educational Fair. TCRSF is open to all public, private, online and home schooled students in grades 6 – 12 in the four counties of Ramsey, Hennepin, Washington, and Dakota. (Students in Anoka County compete in the Central Regional Fair held in St. Cloud, MN.)  Over $55,000 in scholarships and prizes were awarded last year to "Promote Future Scientists and Engineers," plus additional competitions which provide thousands of dollars more in scholarships and prizes.

The Twin Cities Regional Science Fairs are affiliated with the Minnesota State Science and Engineering Fair and with the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). 

Currently in our 74th year (2008 was our 70th fair), the Twin Cities Regional Science Fair began in 1939.  TCRSF affiliated with the Minnesota Academy of Science State Science and Engineering Fair.  TCRSF students had to win at state to be able to compete at the International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF).  In 1974, TCRSF affiliated directly with the International Science & Engineering Fair.  In 1993, TCRSF held the first Annual St. Paul Science Fair, which affiliated with directly with ISEF. The St. Paul Science Fair is open to all students residing and attending school within the St. Paul City Limits.  In 1995, the TCRSF board held the first annual Western Suburbs Fair, affiliated with ISEF.  The Western Suburbs was defined as all students whose school's district headquarters is west of I-35W.  The Twin Cities fair was redefined as all students whose school's district headquarters is east of I-35W. Students who live and attend school within the city limits of St. Paul participate in the St. Paul affiliation.

The TCRSF is a non-profit organization (501c3) under the jurisdiction of a board of directors and is funded solely by our sponsors and contributions.  TCRSF is staffed entirely by volunteers. We can always use more help! Contact us for more information. Just three hours on the day of the fair can make a huge difference!
