Saint Ambrose School sent a group of qualifying 7th graders to compete at the 2019 Northeastern Ohio Science and Engineering Fair (NEOSEF) this past week! The 66th Annual NEOSEF was held at Cleveland State University. “During the four-day event, approximately 600 students from over 80 schools in the area set up their science fair displays, discuss their projects with 260+ judges and compete for more than $20,000 in prizes. One of the most rewarding aspects of NEOSEF is the opportunity for the students to discuss their research with professional scientists and engineers from the local area.”-www.neosef.org This has been an excellent opportunity for our Saint Ambrose HSP Students and we are so proud of their hard work and accomplishments!

About NEOSEF
“Established in 1953, the Northeastern Ohio Science and Engineering Fair (NEOSEF) is a non-profit, all volunteer organization, whose goal is to get young adults interested in science and engineering by participating in a science and engineering competition. The Fair has been held every year since 1954 and is affiliated with the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).
During the four day event, approximately 600 students from over 80 schools in the area set up their science fair displays, discuss their projects with 260+ judges and compete for more than $20,000 in prizes.

At the fair students compete in nine categories which are subdivided by grade levels. NEOSEF awards one 1st place, and multiple 2nd place, 3rd place and honorable mentions per subdivision. Students also compete for over 300 Special Awards totaling more than $15,000 that are donated by companies, societies and organizations.
NEOSEF selects students to move on to the next levels of competition: The International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) and Society for Science and the Public Broadcom MASTERS Program. NEOSEF selects up to four 9-12th Grade Grand Prize Winners to attend ISEF where they compete with almost 1,500 students from all over the world for over $4,000,000 in scholarships and prizes.
