1. TEACHER Registration Information
This year SEFI (Science Education Foundation of Indiana) the organization that oversees state-wide fair guidelines and maintains consistent standards for Regional Fairs, has instituted a centralized registration procedure for all fairs. SEFI also provide funding for the Indiana senior division students who advance to the International Science and Engineering Fair.

All teachers who plan to register students for the Regional Fair from their school or home school must first submit a “teacher registration” at the SEFI website.

Teachers go www.sefi.org and click on the word “REGISTRATION” at the top of the home page followed by "REGISTER ONLINE" and follow directions.
Once you are registered, you will be emailed a password.
