BPS STEM Fair – Judges Portal
The BPS STEM Fair will be on Saturday, March 2nd, 2024.
Putting a focus on science and engineering is a major goal of the Boston Public Schools. We want all students to be scientifically literate and to develop an understanding of fundamental science and engineering concepts. Each year the Boston Science and Engineering Fair provides an opportunity for students to “do” science and engineering. As the students prepare for the fair, they not only learn important science and engineering concepts but they also learn how scientists and engineers investigate the world.
Last year, thousands of students across the city participated in their school fair, and the “best of the best” were invited to display their exhibits at the Citywide Science and Engineering Fair. We had many outstanding exhibits displayed at last year’s fair, representing students from lots of our high schools and middle schools.
We hope you can join us this year! The BPS students appreciate the support your presence provides, and we hope that you will enjoy meeting some of the city’s finest students. We will be honored if you can join us for the day. Note: Judges must have at least an undergraduate degree to participate.
This year’s fair will be in person on Saturday, March 2nd, 2024 at the Reggie Lewis Center in Roxbury (Boston), MA. Judging will take place from from 9am to 12pm – we ask judges to arrive by 8am for orientation. If you are interested in judging for this fair:
