Due to uncertainties surrounding the current pandemic, USEF 2021 will be a virtual fair for all divisions. Judging for all students will take place the week of March 8-12. All students must advance to USEF through a district level fair, which will most likely be held virtually but that may vary from district to district. Look for more information and details to be posted in January 2021.
Student Advisory Board and USEF Public Zoom audio recordings can be found HERE. We are only including the audio file to protect the identities of the students under 18 on the call.

The University of Utah Science & Engineering Fair (formerly named SLVSEF) is an annual science & engineering competition for students in grades 5-12. Participation in science fair stimulates student's interest in science and technology while simultaneously promoting the development of communication, decision making, evaluation of alternative solutions and critical thinking.
