Donate to LACSEF!

Since 1950, The Los Ange­les Coun­ty Sci­ence and Engi­neer­ing Fair (LACSEF) has con­duct­ed an annu­al sci­ence and engi­neer­ing fair for 6th — 12th grade stu­dents from pub­lic, char­ter, pri­vate, parochial, and home­school schools through­out Los Ange­les Coun­ty. We cel­e­brate stu­dents’ STEM achieve­ments,  assist Los Ange­les Coun­ty schools in imple­ment­ing more hands-on inquiry based sci­ence and engi­neer­ing instruc­tion, and devel­op the next gen­er­a­tion of sci­en­tists, engi­neers, math­e­mati­cians, and inno­va­tors. We are total­ly depen­dent on dona­tions from indus­try, busi­ness­es, and friends like you to make the sci­ence fair possible.

You can eas­i­ly and safe­ly donate to the Los Ange­les Coun­ty Sci­ence & Engi­neer­ing Fair and help to fund the largest and longest run­ning region­al sci­ence fair in the west­ern Unit­ed States, ded­i­cat­ed to fos­ter­ing STEM careers and sci­ence edu­ca­tion. Please click the Pay­Pal donate below and fol­low the instruc­tions to donate using a cred­it card.
