The Southern Appalachian Science and Engineering Fair is the premier science competition for students in middle and high school in our 23-county service area of East Tennessee. SASEF has promoted teaching the scientific method in science, engineering, and math since 1952.

The fair is sponsored by the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, as well as many local companies and agencies. It is held at the UT Thompson Boling Arena March 27-30, 2017. There are two divisions of competition – Junior Division for middle school students greades 6 – 8, and Senior Division for high school students grades 9 – 12.

SASEF is an official, affiliated regional fair of the International Science and Engineering Fair, and the top two Senior Division students win an expense paid trip to compete in the International Science and Engineering Fair in May 2016 in Phoenix, AZ.
