Dr. Thomas Bowman Jr., a local physician started the fair to teach his 12 year old son, Tom, a lesson. His son considered himself ‘the smartest person around.” Dr. Bowman took him to see the Westinghouse Talent Search (now the INTEL sponsored International Science and Engineering Fair) exhibit in Washington D.C. After viewing the displays, Tom admitted, “Dad, there are some people smarter than I am.” This was enough to convince Dr. Bowman of the importance of science fairs and coordinated with the National Science Fair (now Science for Society and the Public) to establish a local affiliated fair. With the sponsorship of the Patriot-News Co., the first local fair was held at the Zembo Mosque. The Patriot- News sponsored the fair until 2008. With the guidance of Dr. Madlyn L. Hanes, Vice President for Commonwealth Campuses and Executive Chancellor, PSU and continued support of Dr. Michael Hanes, President Emeritus, Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts a partnership of several higher education institutions and industry was formed to sponsor the organization as it transitioned into the current Capital Area Science and Engineering Fair. With the support of Harrisburg Campus Dean, Jennie Baar, HACC became the new home for CASEF in 2018.

CASEF has been an annual event in the Harrisburg area for more than 60 years. Science education opportunities offered through CASEF help students develop research methods, hone problem-solving skills, and refine both visual and oral presentation techniques through fair preparation and experience. All public and private schools in our 41 county service area are eligible to register to participate in The Capital Area Science and Engineering Fair (CASEF). Senior division grand champions advance to compete in the Intel® International Science and Engineering Fair® (Intel ISEF); the highest scoring projects of the junior division enter the Broadcom® MASTERS® competition. Students attending these prestigious competitions from the Capital Area have had remarkable success and recognition.

These accolades are only possible through the generous financial resources provided to CASEF by partners and sponsors. In 2018, CASEF became a PA EITC Innovative Educational Program. Donations received through this program qualify for income tax credit. CASEF, a registered 501(c)(3), donations also qualify as federal tax deductions.

We also acknowledge the countless hours of guidance and support from parents and teachers and appreciate the many local businesses and organizations who encourage the student participants by providing judges for the fair and special awards for outstanding projects.

MISSION STATEMENT: Our Mission is to inspire a greater interest in STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) studies and encourage students to conduct creative research with the opportunity to present their projects for evaluation by the professional STEM community.

VISION: The Capital Area Science and Engineering Fair will become the venue to connect bright and motivated young scientists with this region’s industry, academia and professional organizations to promote economic development within Central Pennsylvania. Introducing students to the science and technology opportunities within our region will facilitate the cultivation and retention of a tremendous resource – our youth. Special Thanks CASEF depends on the generous donation of time from our judges and their employers. Without their support CASEF would not be able to provide this opportunity to area science students.

We appreciate your dedication and support!

CASEF sincerely appreciates HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College and its many staff members who have helped make this event happen, for use of its facilities and excellent support of CASEF as we continue this partnership endeavor.

We also want to recognize the volunteers who gave many hours of their time to make this fair happen.

We also want to acknowledge the teachers and mentors whose many hours of paperwork and tireless support do not go unnoticed. Capital Area Science and Engineering Fair Grand Champions

Facebook page: Capital-Area-Science-Engineering-Fair-Casef Dr. Laura Johnson Hummell Educator Award

Dr. Laura Johnson Hummell was a Technology and Engineering Education Advisor for the Pennsylvania Department of Education and a member of the CASEF Board of Directors. She passed away December 8, 2018 as a result of injuries sustained in a pedestrian hit and run accident. Laura was a passionate educator and lifelong learner. On her International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA) profile, Hummel cited a quote from William Butler Yeats: “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” She said the quote had a special place in her life and it guided her approach to teaching. “I often learned the most from those teachers, who helped me find my path and passion, rather than lecturing or berating me,” she wrote. She also added, “Over the years, I have worked to become the kind of teacher who inspires my students and leads by example.” CASEF would like to honor Dr. Hummell by presenting a cash award to one of our teachers who has been a supporter STEM education through participation in CASEF and exemplifies these ideals.

I would like to begin with saying thank you to everyone that has supported the students who have participated in the Capital Area Science and Engineering Fair this year. Many hours have been put into the projects by teachers, parents, sponsors, and students. Thanks to our partnership with Harrisburg Area Community College, we are able to welcome more projects from our recently expanded 41 county service area. Students participating in CASEF have a special opportunity to focus their research and learn more about an area of STEM in which they have a personal interest. Conducting a research project builds important skills that will help students as they move through high school and then matriculate into college or a career. Currently, STEM jobs are increasing faster than non-STEM jobs and the median salary related to STEM careers is higher than the median for the average of all occupations. Our CASEF participants are actively learning about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and are putting themselves on a course that will assist them in finding a future STEM career. CASEF is always active in looking for ways to fund the fair so that the students can continue to have the opportunity to share their research outside of the classroom. CASEF has applied and has been approved for EITC status, which allows businesses to have tax credit benefits when they donate to our organization. CASEF has a website and Facebook page which have donation opportunities and we also participate in Amazon Smiles. If you would like more information about ways to support CASEF please contact [email protected]. Thank you again for supporting the students and CASEF as we celebrate their scientific endeavors!
