Student Innovation Unleashed

Middle and high school students from across Georgia present their original research, compete for awards, and interact with top-level professional scientists and engineers at the Georgia Science & Engineering Fair (GSEF), an annual event held in March/early April at The Classic Center (Opens in a new window) in downtown Athens, Georgia.

GSEF is an official affiliate of the Regeneron International Science & Engineering Fair.

The 78th Georgia Science & Engineering Fair will take place March 26-28, 2026. Students may qualify for GSEF by competing at one of Georgia’s regional fairs.
