Dear Participants, Sponsors and Friends:

Welcome to the 20th anniversary of the Massachusetts State Science & Engineering Fair for middle school students! Celebrating the culmination of the “best of the best” research projects by the state’s 6th-8th grade students, this exciting event includes programs for student and parents: judging of students’ projects, an informative seminar for parents about college financial aid, and in the afternoon the Fair is open to the public to view students’ independent research results, and an exciting awards ceremony at which almost 45% of the students are honored.

Independent research projects motivate young students to explore questions that intrigue them while using science practices mandated by the country’s education standards and used around the world by scientists and engineers. . Many former participants cite their middle school research experiences as being responsible for their decision to pursue the sciences and technology in high school and beyond. Equally important, the year-long MSSEF program provides support for teachers through the Curious Minds Initiative to provide an excellent learning experience for all students, helping them to build essential skills for 21st century citizenship and careers – everything from science practices to perseverance to public speaking and teamwork. Each year this program has continued to grow, and we look forward to sustaining this growth pattern in future years.

Without our partners, we could not offer these programs. We would like to take this opportunity to recognize and thank Cabot Corporation, a global specialty chemical company headquartered in Boston, for its fifteenth consecutive year as the lead sponsor of the Massachusetts Middle School State Science Fair. Cabot’s commitment to science education parallels its corporate slogan, “Creating What Matters,” and its continuous dedication to innovation, performance and long-term growth. We extend appreciation to our host, Worcester Technical High School, to the New England Chapter of the Optical Society of America, GEMS Program and Sanofi Genzyme Corp. for sponsoring the award ceremony, and to the many other sponsors who generously support to the middle school and regional science fair system.

To new and returning school districts and teachers, thank you for your efforts on behalf of our young scientists and engineers! We hope you enjoy the 2017 MSSEF and that you will continue to encourage your students to participate in future school-based, regional and state science fairs.

Congratulations and best wishes to our stellar 2017 student participants!

Sincerely,

Timothy A. French Cora Beth Abel Sandra H. Mayrand & Karin E. Lebeau Chair, MSSEF Board of Directors MSSEF President Co-Chairs, MSSEF Middle School Fair

MSSEF is a nonprofit organization that has been advancing science literacy and inquiry-based learning for six decades. “Engineering” was added to our official name to recognize the importance of students engaging in both scientific discovery and engineering problem-solving projects.

With Sincere Appreciation

The Massachusetts State Science & Engineering Fair appreciates the tireless efforts of the faculty and staff of Worcester Technical High School to once again host the Middle School Division Fair.

2017 COORDINATING COMMITTEE MASSACHUSETTS MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE & ENGINEERING FAIR

A salute to the MMSSEF Coordinating Committee whose members represent the Commonwealth’s K-12 school districts, higher education and business and industry! Because of their dedication and commitment to the advancement of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, this program has been expanding significantly over the past five years. We extend our appreciation to these volunteers who have spent countless hours thoughtfully designing the Fair and creating the many components that make it a high- energy and exciting day for students, the scientific and engineering community, parents, educator and friends.

The “Curious Minds” Initiative (CMI) Learning through Science/Engineering Practices & Student Independent Research An MSSEF Program for underserved students & high-needs schools

The three CMI programs work together to support schools and empower teachers so they integrate exciting project-based experiences into existing curricula, and to run exciting competitions (science fair events) that showcase student research and innovation projects.

1. Professional Development for Teachers: CMI offers three graduate-credit courses plus workshops. Teachers completing all three courses for credit earn the “STEM Certificate in Science & Engineering Practices” in partnership with Framingham State University. CMI courses have helped 300+ STEM educators to dramatically increase their teaching effectiveness—and they are impacting over 16,000 students each year.

2. Mentoring for Students: CMI pairs young students (grades 6-12) with STEM mentors as they work on independent research projects, exploring a topic that interests them. MSSEF recruits professional scientists and engineers, and college STEM majors, who provide resources and challenge their students’ critical and innovative thinking about their research. An MSSEF at- school STEM Facilitator guides the program.

3. Mini-Grants for Schools: IMAGINE a school in a any community that could offer guidance and funding for its students to investigate a question about the world that truly interests them. CMI “Mini-Grants” enable schools and teachers to do just that: to inspire students to pursue STEM learning through direct engagement in research and innovation, and through the excitement of science fair competition.

MSSEF REGIONAL FAIR NETWORK Congratulations for an Outstanding Year!

Each year during February and March, thousands of high school students across the Commonwealth participate in their school district and regional science fairs. MSSEF would like to recognize the regional fair directors, coordinating committees, sponsors, host sites, science educators, judges, mentors and the hundreds of volunteers who help to promote the awareness and advancement of science and technology to these students who are members of tomorrow’s workforce.
