NORTHERN AND EASTERN NEVADA
Western Nevada Regional Science and Engineering Fair
In 2014 over 800 Projects and Inventions were exhibited at the fair (12 Nevada Counties, over 100 different public, private, charter and parochial elementary, middle and high schools) representing students from Ely to Zephyr Cove, and Gerlach to Minden. When we trace the impact of our regional fair, we find that over 20,000 students participated in local, school, & county fairs to reach our regional fair. The Science Fair is an exciting experience for both the students and teachers who participate and an inspiration to the next generation of scientist, engineers and state leaders of tomorrow.

Future Cities Engineering.
The Future City Competition is a national, project-based learning experience where students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade imagine, design, and build cities of the future. Students work as a team with an educator and engineer mentor to plan cities using SimCity™ software; research and write solutions to an engineering problem; build tabletop scale models with recycled materials; and present their ideas before judges at Regional Competitions in January. Regional winners represent their region at the National Finals in Washington, DC in February.
Mathletes for High School Students.
Teachers or parents may register individual high school students or teams to compete!
mathleague.org’s philosophy includes a belief that math contests should be a learning experience; and to that end students should be exposed to brand new problems at every contest, should be allowed to keep their test questions and completed answer sheets, and should be given solutions to all problems at the conclusion of the contest.

Science Olympiad
Science Olympiad comes in many shapes and sizes to fit your needs. At the K-6 level, try an Elementary Science Olympiad (ESO) program, which can come in the form of a competitive tournament, a hands-on science Fun Day or an expert-filled Science Olympiad Fun Night. In grades 6-12, Science Olympiad functions much like a football or soccer team, requiring preparation, commitment, coaching and practice throughout the year. Each school-based team is allowed to bring 15 students who cross-train for a variety of events in their skill set, but some school clubs have more than 75 members, allowing for an apprentice and mentoring system.

US CyberPatriot
At the core of the CyberPatriot National Youth Cyber Education is the National Youth Cyber Defense Competition. The CyberPatriot program began in 2009 with a proof of concept competition among six high school Air Force JROTC teams and one Civil Air Patrol team. Since then, the program has experienced per annum growth of more than 20%. The CyberPatriot National Youth Cyber Defense Competition is now open to public, private, and charter high schools, home schools, JROTC units, CAP Squadrons, NSCC Units, scouting troops, and Boys & Girls Clubs. Additionally, CyberPatriot VI marked the introduction of a Middle School Division, which welcomes public and private schools, as well as the other organizations listed above to field teams of students pursuing middle school or junior high education.
