The Greater Austin Regional Science and Engineering Fair is one of Texas’ largest regional science fairs with almost 3,000 students from 3rd through 12th grade. It encourages and rewards innovative student research and provides scientists, engineers and other professionals a chance to volunteer in the community.

Winning Junior/Senior Division projects for students in grades 6- 12 advance to the Texas Science and Engineering Fair. With more than 20,000 students in Texas starting the science fair process on their campuses, approximately 1,300 participated in this year's event, competing in 22 categories in the life and physical sciences across Junior and Senior divisions. Judges evaluate these projects, and the Best of Fair Senior Division projects advance directly to the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair. 

14 Round Rock ISD students earned 15 awards and distinctions at the competition, including the Honorable Mention in Life Sciences. These Round Rock ISD students who placed first, second or third in their category have earned the opportunity to attend and compete at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair and the Junior Innovators Competition.
