The STL Science Fair is hosted by The Academy of Science of St. Louis and since 1947, has historically been one of the largest science fairs in the US. The Academy of Science of St. Louis hosts the STL Science Fair to inspire, support, and celebrate the next generation of scientists
In 2026, the STL Science Fair displayed 1,120 projects from over 2,800 students representing 154 schools and we are excited for even more entries in 2027!!
Serving K-12 students from St. Louis City and St. Louis County, the STL Science Fair encourages scientific thinking, hands-on learning, and curiosity, providing opportunities for students to showcase their projects and receive feedback from local professional scientists. Students complete projects that investigate real-world problems using science and engineering solutions and compete for thousands of dollars in scholarships. Top competitors go on to represent St. Louis at the International Science and Engineering Fair.
