The Niagara Regional Science and Engineering Fair is a non-profit,
charitable organization dedicated to the encouragement of science
in students within the Niagara Region. The fair is a prestigious
annual science event within the region sponsored by local businesses,
and held at Brock University.
Over 150 young Canadian scientists participate at this event.
Their accomplishments are reviewed by approximately 100 judges
and delegations of local scientists, engineers and businessmen.
The fair is economically beneficial to the community but also
provides a scientific stimulus for our youth facing a challenge
in our modern society. The Niagara Regional Science and Engineering
Fair is endorsed by Brock University, Niagara College, the District
School Board of Niagara, the Niagara Catholic District School
Board and le Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud.
 
For over forty years, students have been benefiting from the Niagara
Regional Science and Engineering Fair. There are close to 200 schools
that are encouraged every year to participate in the fair.
Students who win at their school fair progress to the Niagara Regional
Science and Engineering Fair. Students spend a good part of the
year preparing for the Fair.
On the awards night, students receive trophies and purses that are
donated by local businesses and philanthropists. The best projects
are selected and funds are provided to send representatives from
the Niagara Region to the Canada-Wide Science Fair.
