The 2nd annual Chandler Innovation Fair (CIF) was an incredible success. More than 4,000 students were represented and over 5,000 people attended. CIF featured student innovation as the cornerstone, including the Hamilton Invitational Science and Engineering Fair research and projects, student inventions, project based learning presentations, computer science projects, robotics showcases, and elementary and junior high robotics competitions in both FLL and VEX. The Junior High State VEX Robotics tournament (hosted by Willis Firebots) was held at the event, and the Firebots took home the state championship. Every CUSD school was represented alongside over 60 interactive vendors and CTE programs. The award ceremony took place on March 2 at the Chandler Center for the Arts. The award ceremony featured keynotes from Intel and Camille Casteel, as well as special awards from our community partners: Intel, Waymo, SRP, State Farm, Grand Canyon University, and the City of Chandler.

The Chandler Innovation Fair wouldn't have been the success it was without the teachers, students, families, and community support. A special thank you to everyone involved.

The first Chandler Innovation Fair (CIF) was an incredible success. More than 3,500 students were represented at the event on February 23 at Hamilton High School, with over 5,000 people in attendance. CIF featured interactive STEM booths. Every CUSD school and most Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs were represented. CTE had a car show, computer science challenge using Microbit/Microbots, engineering boat races, culinary cooking demos, a sports medicine tape-off and quiz bowl, and a digital photography competition.

Superintendent, Camille Casteel was a keynote speaker and helped award more than 100 students for their science fair projects during the cornerstone event, the Hamilton Invitational Science and Engineering Fair.

Additionally, special awards were given to innovative projects in all event categories presented by Intel, Waymo, the City of Chandler, Grand Canyon University, Northrop Grumman, StateFarm, and SRP.

The Chandler Innovation Fair wouldn't have been the success it was without the teachers, students, families, and community support. A special thank you to everyone involved.

ALL HISEF and CIF WINNERS LISTED BELOW!

Acknowledgements

• Thank you to the dedicated judges who devoted their time to our students. Chandler Unified School District is lucky to have these strong partnerships with our community, teachers, and schools. 
• Thank you to all of the site coordinators, level leads, teachers, students, parents, principals, and community members for making this event possible. It is with your continuous support that opportunities like these can be provided to CUSD students.
