History
Established in 1955, the Eastern South Dakota Science and Engineering Fair is held each spring at South Dakota State University. The fair is an affiliated regional event of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, organized annually by the Science Service of Washington, D.C. Students in grades 6 through 12 from area schools are eligible to submit independent scientific research projects. Each year, several Grand Champion winners are awarded an all-expense-paid trip to participate in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, hosted in a different city each year. Participants also compete for medals, trophies, and monetary awards in a range of categories.
The fair is administered by a Fair Director and Committee in collaboration with the SDSU Chapter of Sigma Xi, the scientific research society. Sponsorship is provided by Sigma Xi, South Dakota State University, the Division of Continuing Education at SDSU, the Greater State Fund, and the South Dakota State University Foundation.
