2021 California Science and Engineering Fair
Special Thanks to Our Benefactors and Board

In the midst of these difficult times when the COVID-19 pandemic led to a yearlong closure of the California Science Center, the cancellation of the 2020 California Science and Engineering Fair and an entirely virtual Fair in 2021, we are especially grateful to Broadcom Foundation and The Ralph M. Parsons Foundation for supporting the realization of the 70th Annual California Science and Engineering Fair to recognize the achievements of our state’s brightest young scholars in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.

We also thank the intrepid California Science and Engineering Fair Board members for their commitment to the student participants and their extraordinary efforts to preserve the enthusiasm for science that the Fair has come to embody. We applaud their ingenuity, resourcefulness and perseverance in the face of so many unprecedented challenges.
