The California Science and Engineering Fair is not your father's science fair. In a world of robotics, artificial intelligence, and live DNA editing, today's students will face new challenges but even bigger opportunities. We intend to provide an opportunity for students of all races and national origins to learn about STEM, to test their ideas in the lab and real-world environment, and to compete with their peers for recognition and awards.

Restoring the in-person state science fair
Since 1952, Los Angeles has hosted the California Science and Engineering Fair (CSEF), the final science fair of the academic year for all students throughout the State of California in grades 6-12. However, in 2020 the pandemic sent the fair to an online, virtual existence, a pale imitation of the exciting in-person event that it had been for seven decades. This past year, the newly created CSEF Foundation has taken over the operations of the fair, with the goal of returning CSEF to a live in-person event in Los Angeles once again.
