Mission Statement

The Chico Science Fair Foundation's mission is to support and provide guidance to the Chico Science Fair and ensure the continued availability and vitality of this community-wide celebration of scientific inquiry for the student citizens of Chico, California.

Vision

The foundation board, working committees, teachers, and volunteers of the Chico Science Fair are committed to helping our nation stay at the forefront of scientific inquiry and innovation through local involvement. As science and technology become ever more important to our future, the challenge of improving science and technology education in our schools continues to motivate the Chico Science Fair Foundation. For over 20 years the fair has been encouraging students - our future scientists and engineers - to learn about science and the scientific method, to apply that knowledge, and to share their results.
