Delaware Valley Science Fairs, Inc. is a nonprofit organization based in Exton, Pennsylvania, established in 1949 and incorporated in 1993. It operates as a regional science fair that engages middle-school and high-school students in eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and southern New Jersey, providing a platform to present scientific work and interact with professionals in the field. The organization supports STEM education by offering mentorship opportunities, teacher workshops, and a pathway to participation in the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, with the top competitors advancing to the ISEF. DVSF hosts a venue that emphasizes feedback and growth through interactions with scientists, aiming to foster skills in research, inquiry, and innovation among students, teachers, and their communities. It relies on contributions from corporations, foundations, and individuals, directing funds toward program activities rather than salaries or overhead, and it operates without public funding. A recent development notes a $300K donation to support its science education mission in the region.
