2021 New Mexico Science And Engineering Fair Results
SCIENCE FAIR News:
This year science fairs are online rather than in-person posters and presentations. The 2021 Final New Mexico Science and Engineering Fair was Saturday, April 17 with results announced April 20.
Students from schools across New Mexico competed to perform research and present their results to judging panels.
Top projects selected in the regional fairs of New Mexico met at the State Fair, at which seven high school students (comprising five projects) were selected to go onto the International Fair representing New Mexico. The State level is the last competition for the junior (middle and elementary school) students.
