A clearer starting point

What this opportunity is really like

Here’s the short version before you leave Pathfind to investigate the official details.

What you would do

You present original research at the world's largest pre-college science fair — but you get there by winning an affiliated regional or state fair first, not by applying directly.

Why it might be worth your time

The route in is through a regional or state fair, so competing locally is the actual first step; entry itself costs nothing.

Is it a good fit?

For grades 9–12 who have finished a research project and are prepared to qualify through a regional fair.
