Congratulations!

Congratulations to the 290 students, their teachers and mentors, and the over 140 volunteers who participated in the 29th Annual Virginia Piedmont Regional Science Fair held Wednesday March 10, 2010 at the University of Virginia John Paul Jones Arena. For a list of awards see 2010 Awards. Help encourage our future scientists and engineers. Become a sponsor of the fair.

Our Mission

Much more than a competition, the Virginia Piedmont Regional Science Fair is an educational and motivating experience for the students. Your involvement as a sponsor or volunteer is an opportunity to encourage young people who have already begun to show serious interest in science and engineering. China and India graduate 14 engineers for every one graduated in the USA. With your support the Fair can help inspire many of these students to pursue careers in science or engineering and keep our region and the USA competitive internationally.

Organization Profile

The Virginia Piedmont Regional Science Fair is a 501(c)3 non-profit volunteer organization. The Fair is affiliated with the International Science and Engineering Fair. The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) is the world's largest pre-college celebration of science. Established in 1950 by the Society for Science & The Public and held annually in May, the Intel ISEF brings together over 1,400 students from more than 40 nations to compete for scholarships, tuition grants, internships, scientific field trips and the grand prize: a $50,000 college scholarship.

The Fair organization is governed by a Board of Directors who plan and prepare for the Fair in the year prior to fair day.
