The Randall Museum is proud to host 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. Public and private schools participate in this citywide program, which is designed to promote and recognize the efforts of student scientists.

200 science projects will be on display. Entrants represent the best of over 900 projects completed this year from participating schools in San Francisco, Marin and Sonoma counties. Awards are given to honor 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in each grade and category; Physical, Biological, Behavioral and Environmental Sciences. Top placing students will be eligible to move on to the California Science and Engineering Fair.

The goal of the Science Fair is to emphasize the joy and accessibility of science and participation over competition; therefore, winners are not awarded cash prizes, but instead are offered a day trip to a Bay Area location of educational and entertainment interest.
