Massachusetts Region V High School Science and Engineering Fair
The Massachusetts Region V High School Science and Engineering Fair, which is held at Bridgewater State University, is a non-profit organization, that showcases student's work through annual science fairs.
Region V, formerly called the South Shore Region, is the largest educational region in the Commonwealth, encompassing schools in 75 cities and towns – including the cities of Brockton, Newton, Quincy, and Weymouth, and the towns of Weston, Provincetown, Natick, Plymouth, Easton, and many more. The region runs from the Atlantic Ocean west to beyond Interstate 95, and from Cape Cod and the islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket north to the Mass Pike. Region V also includes 14 regional high schools, and every private and parochial school in Boston.

Math Kangaroo is a competition for students in grades 1 through 12. The atmosphere is fun and encouraging and all participants receive a T-shirt, pencil, certificate and a toy. The heart of the competition is the 75 minute multiple-choice test. There are 24 questions for students in grades 1 through 4, and 30 for grades 5 and up. Stay tuned for more information about the 2021 Math Kangaroo Competition."
Greenlight for Girls
Greenlight for Girls is an international organization dedicated to inspire girls of all ages and backgrounds to pursue STEM subjects — Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics — by introducing them to the world of science in fun and exciting ways. The Center for the Advancement of STEM Education and the College of Education at Bridgewater State University partner with Greenlight for Girls to offer a Greenlight for Girls STEM event, where we welcome 150 girls (aged 11-15) from local communities to join us for an exciting day filled with hands-on science & technology workshops guided by STEM role model professionals, BSU faculty and staff.
BSU Observatory
The BSU Observatory offers public viewing nights during the Fall and Spring semesters. The Observatory staff will show you constellations, planets, stars, nebulae, galaxies and star clusters, and will be happy to answer any questions you have about astronomy.
Science Academy
The Science Academy offers one-week science classes for students who are in or are entering grades 7-12 in the fall (students who are currently in grades 6-11). This unique program allows students to work as scientists and is designed to inspire students about science while providing them with the foundations necessary for further scientific exploration.
