About NYCSEF 2013

The New York City Science and Engineering Fair, the largest high school research competition in NYC, is sponsored by the New York City Department of Education and the City University of New York.   Each year, hundreds of students participate from all over the five boroughs.  The NYCSEF 2013 paper and on-line portions of the application are available here.   Students interested in participating in future NYCSEF events are encouraged to review the 2013 NYCSEF Rules & Guidelines.  NYCSEF is affiliated with the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.

President Obama visits the Finals

In 2011, addressing the 191 students participating at the Finals Round, President Obama said, “I want you to know that you are the key to our success. You’re going to be able to find a job because there’s going to be a great advantage for the skills you’re learning. So you should all be extraordinarily proud of the work you’re doing.”
