The DeKalb Regional Science & Engineering Fair (DRSEF) is a districtwide competition, which allows students in grades 3rd-12th to compete in 21 science & engineering categories. The primary purpose of this fair is to stimulate student interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Through the fair, students collaborate with like-minded peers and have an opportunity to advance and compete for awards in the local, regional, state, and international fair.
