Welcome to the Delaware Valley Science Fairs (DVSF) web site. This is the 69th year for the Fairs. I extend congratulations to all the participants. Every student who participates is a winner, not because they have won an award, but because they have started and completed a research project. Over the years, this program has continued to grow and prosper. More students and schools are involved today than ever before. This "Inquiry-based hands-on" approach to learning STEM is proven. It works! And in fact, "Inquiry" is now a top priority in the state standards for both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I am convinced that if we challenge our youth and provide them with the opportunity and encouragement, they will succeed. This process, however, needs the guidance of a dedicated teacher - someone who will stay a little later at school and work a little harder with the students. I celebrate these teachers. Without their dedication, this program would not exist. We hope that this web site will provide information to assist teachers and students in doing a research project.
