Welcome to the Academy of Science - St. Louis Science Fair

Congratulations Science Fair Students!

The results of the 2022 Academy of Science - St. Louis regional Science Fair are in! Congratulations to the over 900 area K-12 students who participated in the 100% e-fair 2022 Academy of Science - St. Louis regional Science Fair! Students that participated represented 97 schools from across the St. Louis area. It has been a year of transition as we continued to have a 100% e-fair this year and the previous fair director, the wonderful Peggy Nacke, retired at the end of 2021. Thanks to the support of our judges and the generous contributions from our sponsors and special award donors including lead support from the Bayer Fund, with additional lead Technology Track support from the Boeing Company, and support from the Broadcom Foundation, we were able to host another successful science fair this year for our region's future leaders, scientists, engineers, and STEM advocates and professionals.
