If you are the Science Coordinator of your school district and you need to register multiple schools and do not want to register each school individually, you may register one school and then email Jessica Winkler at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  with:

1. Your requested number of spaces for the district
2. Any school changes in the past year

Registering this way will save you some time and assign the same student registration password to each school in your district, but is not required.

DEADLINE: 

Each project for the Honors Division must be registered between September 1, 2022 and  December 23, 2023
Each project for the K-12 Division must be registered between September 1, 2022 and  March 20, 2023
Each project must be registered to participate

TEACHERS:  YOU NEED TO IDENTIFY THE STUDENTS WHO WILL SUBMIT PROJECTS TO THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCE - ST. LOUIS SCIENCE FAIR BEFORE MARCH 20, 2023 SO THAT THE STUDENTS HAVE TIME TO REGISTER BY THE DEADLINE.  In other words, hold your fair BEFORE March 20th.

IMPORTANT FOR 2023: NUMBER OF STUDENTS ON A PROJECT: Teachers may submit a class project for Grades K-4. Students may work individually or in a team of two.

ONE PROJECT FOR EACH STUDENT:
Students may not submit more than one project.

PASSWORD:  Each school that registers for The Academy of Science -  St. Louis Science Fair will receive the number of projects that they are allowed to upload and a school password to be used by their students when they register their projects. Available on the School Coordinator Dashboard after you register your school.

SEQUENCE NUMBER:  After student registered their project, they will receive a sequence number.  They should write this down and save it - they will need it when they upload their project.  The sequence numbers can also be found on the School Coordinator Dashboard after the student registers their project.

STUDENT ADDRESS:  Use student e-mail and mailing address if possible.  This will make it easier for teachers!  We will be e-mailing the electronic ribbon certificate after the fair.  We will be mailing scholarship awards to the address that is used for the student registration.  If the teacher's address is used, then the scholarship award will be mailed to the teacher and then the teacher will have to mail to the student.
