The Nokia Bell Labs North Jersey Regional Science Fair (NJRSF) is a high school student science competition in which students, individually or in groups, present a wide variety of projects. Most of the projects are investigative in nature, posing and attempting to answer some question or problem, either through experimentation and design or in a theoretical sense. All areas of science, math, and engineering are included. The fair accepts entries from ten counties of northern New Jersey and draws top-notch competition from participating schools.
