--Providing rules and requirements for participation in the Colorado Science and Engineering Fair;
--Facilitating communication, where practical, between regional science fairs and their participants;
--Providing information and resources to the regional fair directors, teachers, and students which will promote interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, as well as excellence in scientific research; and
--Increasing public awareness and appreciation of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in the schools.
