Arkansas State Science & Engineering Fair

For 72 years, the association has been Arkansas's premiere pre-collegiate STEM competition. The association supports students and educators in a year-long journey. Regardless of background and resources, students are able to showcase their independent research projects and innovative ideas while engaging with professional scientists and engineers.

Our Mission and Vision
Tomorrow’s science workforce is being created today. ASSEF is making that happen! We inspire future problem solvers in science and engineering, developing critical thinkers who can analyze and understand the world around them, whatever field they pursue.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, ASSEF relies on the generous donations of like-minded organizations to further our work in inspiring and empowering students across Arkansas. This young talent becomes the future pipeline of STEM workers and leaders in Arkansas and beyond.
