To Be Held In
Person on the ETSU Campus
Saturday,
April 26, 2025
The Upper East Tennessee
Science Fair is an annual event sponsored by the Johnson City Kiwanis Club and
ETSU. The Fair is held in the Ballroom in
the Culp Center on the ETSU Campus. The
fair typically hosts several hundred exhibits submitted by fourth through
eighth grade students from dozens of schools in the upper east Tennessee
region.
Professional scientists, ETSU
science faculty, and science educators judge the competition with thousands of
dollars in prize money awarded to student winners, their teachers, and to their
schools.
NOTE: There is no preliminary requirement that
schools must host or students must place in any local school fair to be
eligible for the UETSF! The only requirement is that a “teacher”
sponsor a deserving student’s project and a parent or legal guardian certify
the student’s effort on the project with permission for the student to
participate.
