Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair

For the first time since 2020, the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair (GSDSEF) will be held in person at The Balboa Park Activity Center (BPAC) on March 15, 2023. The GSDSEF will include 338 students with 312 projects from San Diego and Imperial Counties in grades 6-12.

Students that present the top projects will be awarded scholarships, educational experiences, cash prizes and be selected to attend additional prestigious fairs. These include Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge for middle school students, The California Science and Engineering Fair in April, and 6 high school students will be given all expense paid trips to attend The Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair held in Dallas, Texas. This is held in May and nearly $6 million in awards will be given out.

In the past, $20,000+ dollars of award money has been given out to students, and numerous students have gone on to win top prizes at the state and international fairs.

Judging will be held at the BPAC on March 15, 2023, however this will be closed to the public. The awards ceremony will be held at The Observatory North Park on March 16, 2023 at 6pm. The awards ceremony will be open to families of participants and we will be making a video for later viewing.

The BPAC will be open to the public to view projects on Saturday, March 18, 2023 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. This is a great opportunity to be inspired and see what amazing projects these students have put together. Please join us then!
