The Fort Worth Regional Science and Engineering Fair has successfully concluded its 73rd operational year! We'd like to congratulate all teachers, parents, guardians, judges, and staff, as well as all participants for making the fair possible!
Projects needing approval from the Scientific Review Committee (SRC) must be approved either by a local SRC or the FWRSEF SRC if the school is small enough to establish its own SRC (e.g., home school).
Project categories are finalized. No changes to a category may be requested by a teacher, parent/guardian, or student beyond this point.
Friday, February 14th 2025
All students MUST have their projects in the database by this date. If no poster is provided by the deadline, the project will not be eligible for judging, or placement in the fair. The category judges evaluate their assigned projects online prior to fair-day, judging occurs on fair-day.
Setup Day Sunday, February 23rd 2025
Project setup for all participants
Doors open 12 PM to 5 PM @ College Park Events Center, The University of Texas at Arlington.

TXSEF 2025 Schedule
The Texas Science and Engineering Fair will be hosted in-person by the Engineering Department of Texas A&M University starting in March 28-29, 2025 (tentative). See TXSEF for more information.
Regeneron ISEF 2025
Regeneron ISEF 2025 will take place in Columbus, Ohio. The week-long event will be held May 10th - 16th, 2025. Please visit the Society for Science's page for more information.
Texas Science and Engineering Fair and its Regional Fairs utilize STEM Wizard as our registration platform. Participants (e.g. students) and their representatives (e.g. teachers) must use the STEM Wizard UTA-FWRSEF portal for registration.
Middle school students must fill out the Safety Consent Form and upload it to STEM Wizard during registration. This is a simplified form for Middle School participants.
Tip: When a participant registers at STEM Wizard, the participant must choose a secondary representative (e.g. teacher) in order to proceed to the next step of registration.
If your school has a designated coordinator capable of seeing all students' projects, the student must choose the secondary teacher option, then choose the coordinator's name (they must be registered as a teacher first).
If your school has only one teacher, the placeholder secondary teacher option “2ndary Ottoman” must be selected. Selection of this teacher will enable your student to continue registration.
Links will be updated as we approach the registration deadline, when students & teachers' information is available. An electronic copy of projects' posterboards must be uploaded for judges to preview.

This is a list of people who have dedicated a lot of time and effort to the
fair, both visibly and behind the scenes. A special thanks to all whose names
appear here.
The UT Arlington-Fort Worth Regional Science and Engineering Fair (UTA-FWRSEF) is the longest continually operating science fair in the United States, bringing together several hundred student exhibitors from a ten-county area of north Texas. We support our mission of promoting interest in science and engineering by offering significant educational opportunities to our participants.
Your voluntary contribution of time and effort is indispensable to the success of the UTA-FWRSEF. Quality judging, together with personal feedback to participants, has encouraged science education among the teachers, parents, and students. Your participation will help to continue this fine tradition.
Sincerely,
Jan de Nijs Category Judging Chair
Paula Hahn Special Award Judging Chair

About us
The UT Arlington-Fort Worth Regional Science and Engineering Fair is the oldest (established in 1951), continually operating regional science and engineering fair in the state of Texas and is also the biggest science and engineering fair in our region. Students from 10 counties (Cooke, Denton, Erath, Hood, Johnson, Palo Pinto, Parker, Somervell, Tarrant, and Wise) participate in order to advance the study of science, mathematics, and engineering in the great state of Texas!
The UT Arlington-Fort Worth Regional Science, & Engineering Fair is an organization made up of community and business volunteers whose purpose is to focus attention on science and stimulate interest in students beyond class work. The Science Fair offers an opportunity to display meritorious scientific talent through exhibits, and to arouse the interest of the public in science abilities of students and teachers.
Any student from grades 6 - 12 in public, private, home school, or parochial school in the Fort Worth region may enter the fair. Although most schools usually hold their own district fairs, there are other methods students can follow to participate in the UTA-FWRSEF. If all Regeneron Science and Engineering Fair's guidelines and rules are adhered to, students may still enter the Regional Fair on an individual basis. The UT Arlington-Fort Worth Regional Science and Engineering Fair continues to be one of only a few Regional Fairs in Texas that does not charge a participation fee to the schools and/or to the students. Although most schools usually hold their own district fairs, there are other methods that students can follow to participate in the UTA-FWRSEF.
Details may be found on the ISEF Website. If you need assistance with a student's project please forward your questions and contact information to director@fwrsef.org.
Projects needing approval from the Scientific Review Committee (SRC) must be approved either by a local SRC or the UTA-FWRSEF SRC before the experiment starts. Deadline for SRC approval is always in mid-December prior to the Fair in mid-February. Check the Info tab for the latest information regarding times and dates for the fair.
