SEFNK - Science and Engineering Fair of Northern Kentucky

NACKES is now SEFNK

Welcome to the new website for the 17th Annual Science and Engineering Fair of Northern Kentucky, formerly NACKES - the North Area Counties of Kentucky Exposition of Science.

Doing a project for presentation at a science fair has some obvious benefits. Students learn about subjects of special interest. They have the opportunity to be part of an event that puts their work on display and they can meet other students with similar interests. The completion of a successful research project helps students:

- Communicate information clearly and effectively.

- See how science plays a part in every aspect of their lives.

- Use their creativity in answering questions or solving problems.

- Explore different ways of learning.

- Gain confidence about their abilities to gather and present information.

- Become familiar with scientific procedures and terms.
