Enlightening the Future
Leon County’s science fair season has begun! Last year, 88 students were selected from participating schools to compete at the Capital Regional Science and Engineering Fair (CRSEF) this February. These students explored cutting-edge topics—from stem cell therapy to aircraft design—developing the exact problem-solving and critical-thinking skills that modern employers prize.
2025 Key Highlights:
- State Level: 8 students advanced to the state competition.
- International Level: 2 students competed at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix, both winning substantial prizes.
To keep this momentum going, Tallahassee needs more schools to participate and more professionals to serve as mentors and judges. Investing in student research is an investment in our community’s future vitality. Congratulations to all our participants!
