Science, Engineering & Robotics Fairs — Qualification Registration

Organized by Boston Intellectuals, Ivy Standard, and the Harvard Students Team, the Fairs invite students to present original projects across three categories — Science, Engineering, and Robotics. Participants investigate, document, and defend their own work before a judging panel, with trophies, medals, and certificates recognizing outstanding research, design, and innovation.

The program runs for 3 days, 9:00 AM – 1:00/1:30 PM daily. Includes Harvard visits, workshops, an official campus tour, and a visit to the Harvard Museum.

All participants must register below for qualification. Pre-registration is required; walk-in entry is allowed only if space permits. Registration fee: $595 — free when joining the Ivy League Tour full package as a school group.
