The Worcester Regional Science & Engineering Fair encourages scientifically talented Worcester-area middle school students (grades 6-8) to enter. It is not necessary for a school to hold its own science fair to enter the Regional Fair. Students involved in research or independent projects may enter directly. Team projects of up to 3 students may participate. Students must inform and consult with their science teacher and the school before beginning a science research project.
