Hundreds of 4th through 12th graders annually participate in the Kern County Science Fair for a chance to move onto the California Science Fair. Students are interviewed to demonstrate understanding of their display, log book and their hypothesis. Entries are judged on scientific thought/engineering goals, creativity, organization, completeness, clarity, effort and motivation.
This year's Science Fair is being held March 11, 2025 at Bakersfield's Mechanics Bank Theater. The Kern County Science Fair is sponsored by the Kern County Science Foundation.
