Students who pursue independent STEM projects and exhibit their work at CPS STEM Fairs at the school, regional, or citywide levels have their interest, curiosity, extra-curricular STEM efforts recognized, encouraged, and rewarded. 

STEM Exhibitions give students thoughtful, constructive, and knowledgeable feedback on their work. Students receive valuable practical experiences in science, technology, engineering, and math processes that serve as a foundation for further STEM education and careers. They can qualify for college scholarships and participation in the Illinois Junior Academy of Sciences and Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) competitions.
