Welcome to the 2019 Colorado Science & Engineering Fair
Congratulations to this year’s CSEF Finalists. The dedication displayed by each and every participant is commendable. Each of you is already a winner, having completed a self-directed scientific research project and earned the opportunity to represent your region at the state level. We are all here to celebrate your success and applaud your parents, teachers and mentors for their enthusiastic support. From start to finish, and at all levels of participation, the science and engineering fair experience is one not only of competition, but also of camaraderie, creativity and education. Well done Finalists!
This is my 20th year as the
director of the CSEF and I must say, I have enjoyed meeting so many great students over the years – many of whom I am still friends with!
The success of each year’s CSEF
is directly dependent upon the support of public and private organizations, government agencies, school districts and universities, as well as the efforts of hundreds of committed volunteers. I want to say thank you to the members of the Board of Directors who oversee the nonprofit organization, the members of the Advisory Council who aid me in making sure
everything runs smoothly; the judges; and hundreds of on-site volunteers who do the actual work during the CSEF.
I would also like to say thank you
for the support given to me by my colleagues in the CNS Education & Outreach Center (EOC) at Colorado State University. CSEF has called the EOC home for the past 20 years and the EOC is proud to include the state science fair as one of its many outreach endeavors in the area of science and mathematics education.
Each year, the CSEF sends the
top senior division projects to compete in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, being held this year in Phoenix, AZ May 12 - 17, 2017. These students join the 20 or so other students who attend representing their regional science fair. I wish these students good luck and I know they will represent the state of Colorado well.
The top junior division projects
are nominated to complete the application process for the Broadcom MASTERS competition. Each year, 300 semi-finalists are chosen from the thousands who enter and from those, 30 finalists are awarded a trip to compete for up to $25,000 in scholarship funds.
Colorado also had Alyssa Rawinski, a 12th grade student from Monte Vista High School selected as Semi-Finalists for the Regeneron Science Talent Search. She and her school received $2,000. Congratulations Alyssa!
As usual, we aim to make each
year’s CSEF better and better. We have recruited over 200 grand award judges to help us choose the 1st, 2nd, 3rd place and honorable mention winners. And we have been working hard to expand our Special Award Organizations list and have approximately 80 companies, organizations, and individuals providing awards to students based on criteria they are interested in. And we have recently created a title sponsorship opportunity that we hope a generous organization will step forward and fill soon.
Thank you so much for
attending and I look forward to many more years as the CSEF Director. Sincerely, Courtney Butler CSEF Executive Director

2019 Colorado Science & Engineering Fair Film & Panel Discussion
“Science Fair: What’s the Big Idea?” A National Geographic Documentary Film
April 12, 2019 @ 8:15 a.m.
Colorado State University Theater
About the Film: Hailed by critics as "immensely likeable," "brilliant and quirky" and an "ode to the teenage science geeks on who our future depends," and winner of the audience award at Sundance and SXSW. National Geographic Documentary Films' SCIENCE FAIR follows nine high school students from around the globe as they navigate rivalries, setbacks and, of course, hormones, on their journey to compete at The [Intel] International Science and Engineering Fair. As 1,700 of the smartest, quirkiest teens from 78 different countries face off, only one will be named Best in Fair. The film, from Fusion Media and directed by the DuPont Award-winning and Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaking team Cristina Costantini and Darren Foster, offers a front seat to the victories, defeats and motivations of an incredible group of young men and women who are on a path to change their lives, and the world, through science.
About the Panel: Colorado has had its own share of stories similar to those shown in the film. Get a chance to ask a panel of students and teachers who have attended the Intel ISEF what it’s really like and what the experience has meant to them.
