Science and Engineering Fairs (Evaluation)Science and Engineering (S&E) fairs are a valuable educational activity that are believed toincrease students’ engagement and learning in science and engineering by using inquiry-focusedlearning, engaging students in authentic scientific practices and engineering design processes [1-3], and emphasizing creativity [4, 5]. Proponents also argue that S&E fairs enhance students’interest in science and science careers [6, 7] as well as engineering [2]. From the fair, studentsreport that they have learned more about the scientific process and engineering design, althoughthey may not all feel their attitudes towards STEM fields has improved [2, 8]. In this paper, wefocus on science attitudes, but because
