Region 5 Science Fair

The Louisiana Region V Science and Engineering Fair is an organization dedicated to the promotion of Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, and Investigations in grades 4-12. It is affiliated with the Louisiana Science & Engineering Fair (LSU - Baton Rouge) as well as the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair. We serve over 60 schools, public, private, and home, in a six-parish area - Calcasieu, Cameron, Beauregard, Jefferson Davis, Allen, and Vernon.

There are over 300 elementary, junior, and senior students that enter the regional competition. Junior and Senior place winners from this level progress onto state competition with Senior Division winners having a chance at international competition. The 2019 Region 5 Fair sponsors include , Sasol North America, City of Lake Charles, KillerDye, Phillips 66, Structure X, and TRU Solutions. There are also numerous college, public, and private school educators that volunteer to help make each year a success. "Volunteer" is the scientific word. All positions associated with the Fair are volunteer, even mine. Funds that are generated via sponsors, registration fees, and t-shirt sales are used to purchase such items as paper for mailings, judging materials, ISEF affiliation fees, awards for students, a trip to the Intel International Science Fair for the Overall Winner and his / her adult sponsor, and other miscellaneous operating supplies. (Providing funds are available, the "Best of Senior Division" winning project will also receive a sponsored trip to the ISEF)

The Louisiana Region 5 Science & Engineering Fair has been in existence for 65 years. Recent Directors include Dr. James Batchelor, McNeese State University, Joan Vallee, McNeese State University, and Brady Gentry, (now at Sowela Technical Community College). Currently Judy Reeves, St. Margaret School, is Director, with Renee Unsworth, Pathways Christian School, serving as Assistant Director.

This site is meant to serve the teachers, students, and parents of Region 5. It can only be successful with your input. I would like to encourage anyone visiting here to make suggestions as to what they would like to see. (information, links, etc..) Just jump to the Contacts page and drop me an email.

Thank You - Judy Reeves - Director, LR5SEF
