The Randall Museum is excited to bring back the Annual SF Middle School Science Fair. For more than 40 years San Francisco student scientists have been wowing Museum visitors with their inventive projects exploring an outrageous array of scientific inquiries. The entries in the 2023 Science Fair will be on display at the Randall Museum February 28 through March 4, 2023. 

This year’s celebration includes a special family Science Festival for visitors of all ages. Kids and their families can drop in for a small fee to explore the fun of science, enjoy live animal encounters, and discover more information with community partners from the science world.

This year 15 public and private schools participated in this citywide Science Fair, which is designed to promote and recognize the efforts of student scientists.150 science projects will be on display. Entrants represent the best of over 900 projects completed at the schools this year. 

Awards are given to honor 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd place winners in each grade and category; Physical, Biological, Behavioral, and Environmental Sciences. Top placing students will be eligible to move on to the SF Bay Area Golden Gate STEM Fair and then possibly the California Science and Engineering Fair.

The exhibition of the projects will be open to the public the week leading up to the awards ceremony. The awards ceremony for the student scientists, their families, and educators, takes place from 9:45am to 11:45am, on Saturday, March 4, 2023. The family-friendly Science Festival is open to the public from 10:30am to 4pm on Saturday, March 4, 2023.
