SIC’EM Science Day Jr. Celebrates Central Texas’ Top Young Scientists

Join us for SIC’EM Science Day Jr., a special showcase featuring winners from the 2026 Central Texas Science & Engineering Fair. Following the fair’s 70th anniversary celebration, this event highlights the outstanding research and innovation of student scientists from across a 13-county Central Texas region.

Sponsored by the Mayborn Museum, the Central Texas Science & Engineering Fair brings together young researchers who design and conduct original, hands-on investigations. Their projects are evaluated by professional scientists, engineers, and educators, with top winners advancing to the Texas Science & Engineering Fair and potentially the Regeneron International Science & Engineering Fair.

At SIC’EM Science Day Jr., guests will have the opportunity to see these award-winning projects up close, meet the students behind the research, and be inspired by their curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Come experience the creativity and discovery that are shaping the next generation of STEM leaders.
