Welcome to the OCSEF PDF Print E-mail

We are thrilled to welcome you to the new OCSEF website. Our board has worked to rebuild and improve our web presence, but this is just the beginning! The OCSEF continues to develop our website and add resources for students, teachers, and parents.  Check back regularly to see new changes.

It is an exciting time for students in science. For over 50 years, the OCSEF has been committed to educating, guiding, and motivating students to engage in all fields of hands-on science. We have seen amazing changes in technology since 1950, and with technology redefining the precision, speed, and volume of data that a student can collect, there are more opportunities than ever for students to make amazing discoveries.  We look forward to affecting even more radical change in the next 50 years.  We at the OCSEF are committed to support you in this changing landscape.

Over the years, we've seen first hand how effective students can be when challenged - and work strategically - to inquire, design and investigate topics that span the spectrum of physical and life sciences and beyond. As a member and supporter of our amazing organization, you stand with us as we continue our mission of inspiration. Your participation as a student, teacher, judge, mentor, or volunteer helps the OCSEF promote science and inspire a new generation of scientifically literate, technological citizens.

In the coming year we encourage students to reach new heights in your successes and invite you to join us in our efforts.  We wish you success in your coming project, and we hope to see you in the next Orange County Science and Engineering Fair.
