Who We Are
The Southern Appalachian Science and Engineering Fair is the premier science competition for students in middle and high school in our 23-county service area of East Tennessee. We have promoted teaching the scientific method in science, engineering, and math since 1952.
The fair is sponsored by the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, as well as many local companies and agencies. It is held at the UT Thompson Boling Arena during the first week of April. There are two divisions of competition - Junior Division for middle school students grades 6 - 8, and Senior Division for high school students grades 9 - 12.
SASEF is an official, affiliated regional fair of the International Science and Engineering Fair, and the top two Senior Division students win an expense paid trip to compete in ISEF In Reno, NV May 10-15, 2009.
Yes, you can "double dip"!
The Tennessee Junior Science and Humanities Symposium (TJSHS) for grades 9-12 takes place each spring. You are allowed to use the SAME research project for both the TJSHS and the SASEF.
SSP Fellows Program for Teachers
Society for Science & the Public (SSP), with generous support from Intel, is pleased to announce the launch of its Fellows Program. The SSP Fellows Program provides funds and training to selected U.S. science and math teachers who serve under-resourced students, to enable interested and motivated students to perform high-quality independent scientific research.
