Saginaw County Science & Engineering Fair 2005 Results

The Saginaw County Science & Engineering Fair is sponsored by the Community Education Department of the Saginaw Public Schools, in cooperation with the Dow Corning Corporation and local businesses and organizations. Congratulations to all of our students. We set a new record with a total of 369 students participating in this year’s SCSEF. The Saginaw County Science & Engineering Fair (SCSEF) is affiliated with the Michigan Science & Engineering Fair (MichSEF) and the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF). As an affiliate, Saginaw County can send ten Senior Division students to the MISEF and two Senior Division students to the Intel ISEF. We have four types of awards: Special Awards, Category Awards, Grand Awards and Future Competition Qualifiers.

Special Awards come from organizations that wish to reward student research in a particular area of research or using a particular methodology. These awards have red headers. Category Awards are within the student’s research category, such as Botany, Chemistry, Engineering, etc. These awards have green headers.  Grand Awards are the recognition of First Class projects. These awards have blue headers. Future Competition Qualifiers are students who placed in the top 5 of the Elementary or Junior Divisions and have qualified for the Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge, or Senior Division students who placed in the top 10 and will represent Saginaw County at the MichSEF, or Senior Division students who placed first or second and will represent Saginaw County at the Intel ISEF. These awards have orange headers.

We awarded a total of 247 awards to 155 students.
