Grand Title Sponsor for ACSEF 2026 - A Caring Valley: Wisdom in STEM initiative

A Premier Donor Opportunity Supporting the Wisdom in STEM Initiative & ACSEF 2026 Engagement

Caring Valley Nonprofit (CVN) is proud to partner with the Alameda County Science and Engineering Fair Association (ACSEF) to offer a high-impact corporate sponsorship opportunity. Through our Wisdom In STEM program, your organization can double its influence: fueling young innovators and expanding STEM access across the Bay Area through meaningful mentorship.

Integrated Community Impact: Wisdom in STEM + ACSEF 2026

Through CVN’s partnership with local STEM organizations, supporters now have opportunities to actively participate in shaping student success. One key initiative is volunteering as a judge for ACSEF 2026, held on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at Chabot College in Hayward, where judges evaluate student STEM projects and participate in deliberations to determine awards.

This year’s fair anticipates record student participation, with projects spanning increasingly interdisciplinary fields. Professionals from all backgrounds—especially those in AI, software, computing, and biomedical domains—are encouraged to volunteer. No prior judging experience is required; clear guidelines and training sessions are provided to ensure volunteers feel confident and well-prepared. [linkedin ↗]

By supporting this collaboration, you help students receive thoughtful evaluation, meaningful feedback, and mentorship at a formative moment in their STEM journey.
