The BCSS Science and Engineering Fair (BSEF) is a very important component of the school system’s Innovative Teaching & Learning Program, providing students with an opportunity to engage in authentic scientific and engineering practices.
Each middle school and high school has a school-level Science Fair Mentor who coordinates a school-level fair that serves as a qualifying event for the BSEF.
This page serves as the primary hub for information pertaining to the competitive Science & Engineering Fair System that aligns the school-level fairs to the system-level fair (BSEF) to the Northeast Georgia Regional Fair (NEGA RSEF) and to the state (GSEF) and international fairs (ISEF).
All students who are interested in conducting scientific research and qualifying for regional or statewide science and engineering fairs, as well as their sponsoring teachers, must follow the International Rules for Pre-College Science Research. Proper protocol and prior approvals will be required for all students to be eligible to compete at the system, regional, and state fairs.
BSEF Guidelines for Teachers & Students – This document provides a step-by-step process to ensure your project and forms are done in the right order to be competitive at the system level and beyond.

ISEF Rules & Guidelines – This document is helpful for students as they prepare to compete in any level Science and Engineering Fair.
ISEF Rules Wizard – Every student should visit this site prior to beginning their experimentation. This rules wizard asks several questions about the nature of the project plan and experimental design and provides the student with a specific list of forms and safety checks that must take place in order for the project to meet the rules requirements for BSEF, RSEF, GSEF, and ISEF.
Fillable PDF Forms are now available! New this year. Use these to avoid having to print out hard copies of all those pesky forms.
NEGA RSEF Website – Follow this link to visit the website for the Northeast Georgia Regional Science & Engineering Fair. This site has specific details for what is expected for projects that advance to the regional level.
