What Is SciFest

More Than a Science Fair.
A Research Showcase.

SciFest is an annual, juried student research showcase where students in grades 5 through 12 present original experiments, literature syntheses, conceptual explorations, and case analyses to a trained panel of science faculty and STEM professionals, evaluated anonymously against a structured rubric rather than judged by rotating parent volunteers with clipboards. SciFest 2027 opens the event statewide, welcoming competitors from any New Jersey school alongside our middle school divisions.

What SciFest Stands For

Rigor. Equity. Consequence.

Rigor

Every presentation is evaluated by a trained judge panel using a structured rubric. Recognition is earned through depth of understanding, quality of evidence, and the ability to defend conclusions under questioning, ahead of the visual appeal of a poster alone.

Equity

Four competition divisions ensure every competitor is evaluated against peers with comparable experience, from a fifth grader's first research project to an eleventh grader's published work.

Consequence

Competitors receive written judge feedback on their work. Past participants have used SciFest to pursue university research placements, regional and national competitions, and academic publications.
