2011 Science Fair Registration Open

The online registration system is ready for new applications. The latest ISEF forms are now accessible as well. We will be having a few changes in the Precerfication process. Precerfication is to help Junior and Senior Division students make sure their experiments are allowed under ISEF rules. Projects that do not follow the rules WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. Make sure this does not happen to you. Note, not all projects require precerfication. In general, projects requiring precertification deal with biological, human or hazardous materials.

Online Registration Ready for 2010 Fair

The online registration system for the 2010 Mercer Science and Engineering Fair is now operational. To get started, just sign up for an account and create an application. This can be done BEFORE you start your project. Teachers should also sign up for an account to manage or enter applications for their students. This is a new system and should be easier to use than our older system, so any feedback is welcome. Online help for the registration system is available now.

This book covers everything you need to know about registering for the Mercer Science and Engineering Fair. You can access the main science fair page (presented when you log in) using Home / Online Registration from the main menu on each page.

The book is divided into a number of sections. You do not need to read all the sections since many are designed for forms that are only used for some projects. If you start at the beginning then you can check out the basics and move onto other details as necessary.

First some key points:

Printing ISEF Forms

The Elementary division projects do not need to submit or fill in ISEF forms.

Junior and Senior Division projects must submit a set ISEF forms. Some forms, such as Form 1 and Form 1A, are required. Others are needed only if the project requires them. For example, Form 4 is needed if human subjects are involved in the project.
