58th Annual Cumberland Plateau Regional Science & Engineering Fair
March 30 & 31, 2012
Since 1954, Tennessee Tech University has hosted the Cumberland Plateau’s regional science and engineering fair. This fair has been an education
and career gateway for students interested in and excited about the sciences, about how things work and why.
More than 200 students in the 4th through 12th grades from 16 eligible counties compete in the fair. Awards and recognitions range from ribbons and memorabilia to cash awards and university scholarships.
Senior division winners from the regional fair go on to compete at the international level in the yearly International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF), sponsored by Intel.
This long-standing regional fair is an affiliate member of the International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF).
