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. |
