SCSEF's founders believe that solid training in the principles of science and engineering gives students problem-solving skills that will serve them well in whatever future careers they may pursue. The founders' experiences have convinced them that their own training in science and engineering provided them with the basis for their own successful careers.

SCSEF organizes and funds activities—science fairs, programs, speakers, and field trips—designed to broaden students' knowledge of the impact of science and engineering in our society. These programs benefit society at large by helping to create a future workforce of highly-trained individuals, who are informed about and interested in current scientific issues.

SCSEF was founded in 2001 in Westport, Connecticut. For further information about its history, click here: History of SCSEF
