  2. Why participate in the Science Fair? • Science Fairs provide an opportunity for students, 3rd through 12th grades, who are interested in science and technology to pursue their personal areas of interest and to display their research as a presentation in a public competitive forum. • The NC Science and Engineering Fair works to create enthusiasm in science and technology while encouraging project-based inquiry. • This fair gives our students the chance to compete for college scholarships, awards, honors programs and other exciting prizes. 

  3. What is SAS? • NCSAS is distinctive in holding competitions at the District and State levels for students who have completed research projects, requiring both a paper and an oral presentation, and providing an opportunity for them to receive personal feedback from research scientists in their field. • In addition, we offer mini-grants to student researchers to encourage their efforts. • Awards given at the State Competition include medals, science magazine subscriptions, books, cash, and bookstore gift cards.
