Reading-Berks Science & Engineering Fair

RBSEF 2024

We are getting ready for another great Science Fair season! Please read through all of the Teacher and Student information to make sure your students have and are able to submit the required forms for their projects.

**Note that any forms that require SRC review should be submitted to SRC@rbsef.com for review and signature prior to experimentation.**

Contact us if you have any questions.

SEASON RECAP

Due to the generosity of the Hinkle Family we were able to send all three Champions to ISEF 2023 in Dallas,TX – Grand Champion, Paige Hinkle, Champion, Kamella Gechter, and Reserve Champion Matthew Ferenz.

Our Grand Champion, Paige Hinkle, took 1st in Earth and Environmental Sciences at ISEF 2023!! See the Reading Eagle article here.

Soon we will post interview read outs for our Champion Kamella Gechter, and Reserve Champion Matthew Ferenz here also.

(* Note: ISEF 2023 judging and distribution of awards were in Dallas, Texas in May 2023.)
