The National FFA Agriscience Fair recognizes middle and high school students who are studying the
application of scientific principles and emerging technologies in agricultural enterprises.
Participation begins at the local chapter level and progresses to the state and national levels.
Areas of participation closely mirror those of the International Science and Engineering Fair
but reflect an agricultural theme.
Goals
- Provide students with an opportunity to use the scientific process.
- Provide students an opportunity to achieve state and national recognition for
their accomplishments in agriscience.
- Reinforce skills and principles learned in agriscience courses.
- Provide an opportunity for students to demonstrate and display agriscience projects
that are products of their agriscience courses.
- Provide recruiting and promotional opportunities for agriscience programs.
Recognition
-
Chapter Level - Winners may be selected annually in each FFA chapter.
The winner may represent any of the agriscience category areas (based
on state rules for competitions). Medals and certificates are available
from the National FFA on the Medal Distribution Request form included
in the Free Chapter Materials packet.
-
State Level - Winners from each division in all five categories may be
selected annually in each of the chartered state associations. Each of
those winners may then participate in the appropriate areas on the
national level.
-
National Level - Winners from each state may be forwarded for national
competition. A national winner will be selected in each division. National
winners will be presented with ribbon rosettes and plaques. Additional awards
may become available as funded by special project sponsors above and beyond
the core sponsorship for the National FFA Agriscience Fair.
More information about the Agriscience Fair can be found at the
National FFA website.
