In light of the global pandemic, the Science Fair community encourages students and teachers to think outside of the lab when approaching research this school year. The Society for Science & The Public has created a collection of resources to assist students and teachers with conducting research outside of the traditional laboratory environment. Visit here for more information. Don’t give up and get creative!
Due to the rising health concerns of the coronavirus pandemic, HSSEF 2020 at the Hawaii Convention Center on April 8-10th has been canceled. The safety of our students, teachers, judges, volunteers, and staff remain our top priority. We realize the hard work of all parties involved, and are therefore, working fervently trying to develop the means to hold a virtual science fair instead. Details of the virtual fair will be announced soon. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Join us on Friday, November 9, 2018 at 7:00 PM at the Doris Duke Theatre to watch the premiere of the documentary “Science Fair.” Directed by Cristina Costantini and Darren Foster, this film follows the journey of several students as they compete in the International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) for the nomination of Best in Fair. Four of Hawaii’s very own students will be there to speak about their science projects and share about their experience at the 2018 ISEF. The Honolulu Museum of Art is proud to participate in Science on Screen, an initiative to offer creative pairings of current, classic, cult, and documentary films with introductions by notable figures from the world of science, technology, and medicine.
Museum Members: $10; General Admission: $12

Davey Huang, from Iolani School, has been selected as one of 40 finalists for the 2018 Regeneron Science Talent Search, which is one of the nation's oldest and most prestigious science and math competition for high school seniors. It's a tremendous honor to be recognized as a Scholar, but an even more tremendous achievement to be selected as a Finalist. Finalists were selected from a pool of highly qualified entrants based on their project's scientific rigor and their potential to become world-changing scientific leaders. Each scholar and their school is awarded $2000, and each finalist will receive a minimum $25,000 award. Finalists will compete in Washington, D.C. on March 8-14, 2018. Congratulations, Davey! We are so very proud of you and wish you luck in March!
