Scifair.org: The Ultimate Science Fair Resource

Dear science enthusiast,

I'm Shawn Carlson. And I founded the Society for Amateur Scientists (SAS) back in 1994 to help ordinary people just like you do extraordinary science. We help our members both to advance knowledge themselves, and to ignite in their students and their children that passion to do great things in life.

In fact, we've helped thousands of folks bring the excitement of scientific discovery into their own backyards. If you are a student, teacher, parent, homeschooler, or a genuine citizen scientist--regardless of your age, experience or ability--SAS can help you push back the frontiers of knowledge or fan those flames in others. But more than that, we can also help you inspire the young people you love to succeed in their education and maybe even to use their talents to one day make the world a better place for all of us.

SAS's luminary Board of Trustees and I are so sure that we can help you and your family get more out of your passion for science that we've created this special risk-free offer.

Now, for a limited time you can get all these
extraordinary benefits of membership
