Oklahoma State University hosts the 2024 Oklahoma State Science and Engineering Fair (OSSEF) on March 8-9, 2024
Location: Oklahoma State University Campus, 207 Wes Watkins International Building, Stillwater, OK (corner of Washington and Hall of Fame Streets)
Due Dates: Project Registration opens January 16, 2024 at 8:00 am. All projects are due February 11 by 11:59 pm.
OSSEF offers a number of special and category awards. Selected 9th-12th grade projects will advance to the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) competition which will be held May 11-17, 2024 in Los Angeles, CA. Approximately 1,800 high school students from more than 75 countries, regions, and territories are awarded the opportunity to showcase their independent research and compete for on average $4 million in prizes at ISEF.
Paramount to everything is ensuring that Oklahoma students have the opportunity to engage in scientific research and receive recognition for their outstanding efforts. To help support students and ensure the success of the OSSEF program, donations can be made to the Oklahoma State University OSSEF Foundation Fund.
