Oklahoma Homeschool Science and Engineering Fair

You still have time to register

Here is the boards for our 2025 Homeschool Science Fair

Here are this year's projects. We had a few not make it due to illness. They all did a great job!

There is still time to do a project! The OHSEF is Saturday, January 27, 2024.

A generous donation this year has allowed us to increase the Best of Show prize amounts. Best of Show for High School will receive $200 and Best of Show for Middle School will receive $100. In the event of a tie, the award will be split between the winners.

The registration deadline has been extended to January 12th.

For registration forms and requirements links see comments.

Here are a few frequently asked questions about the Homeschool Science and Engineering Fair:
Can my virtual public school/ Epic student participate?
No, virtual public school is not homeschooled. You may check with your public school district to see if they offer a science fair.
What is the entry fee?
$10 for one student project, $20 for a family or group project; different grade levels may work on the same project. Ideally they are within a couple of grade levels of each other.
Where is the science fair held?
Oklahoma Christian University in Edmond, Oklahoma on the last Saturday of January each year. 2024 will be on January 27. Generally project check in begins at 8:30 am and judging begins at 9:00 am.

Our process has each project being visited by three different judges, who are educators or in a science or engineering field. They will ask questions and have the students explain their projects to them. These scores are averaged to determine the final project score. When students have been visited by all three judges they can leave the judging room and go see some science demonstrations and activities until it is time for award presentation. Our timeline varies with the number of projects each year.

Can we come to the Oklahoma Homeschool Science and Engineering Fair just to see the projects/ support our friend/see if we want to do it next year?
No, the Science and Engineering Fair is not open to the public. It is similar to a scholastic meet and intended for the students to present their projects to the judges and the other students with projects. Parents and siblings can attend but may not be in the room during judging.
