The East Panhandle Science and Engineering Fair brings together student researchers from middle and high schools in Okaloosa and Walton counties to share enthusiasm for learning across STEM disciplines.  Students conduct experiments of their own design, based on their own interests, and then present their findings and processes to professional scientists and engineers at the regional level in pursuit of an opportunity to compete at state and international levels. The East Panhandle Regional Science and Engineering Fair is the single access point and clearinghouse for students in Okaloosa and Walton counties to compete at the Florida Science and Engineering Fair and the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF).
