2022 California Science & Engineering Fair
Special Thanks to Our Benefactors and Board

In the midst of these persistently difficult times when the COVID-19 pandemic led to a yearlong closure of the California Science Center, the cancellation of the 2020 California Science & Engineering Fair and an entirely virtual Fair in 2021 and 2022, we are especially grateful to Broadcom Foundation and The Ralph M. Parsons Foundation for supporting the realization of the 71st Annual California Science & 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 & 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.
