About

Since the 1950’s, State Science Day has inspired students in New Jersey to pursue careers in STEM.  

The competition was re-envisioned in 2021 to foster growth in science and engineering practices through authentic, community-based problem solving.  

This new competition is co-sponsored by New Jersey Science Teacher Association and the Research & Development Council (R&D Council) of New Jersey.
