Greater Kansas City Science and Engineering Fair
At MRIGlobal, we are honored to serve as the Fair’s Platinum Presenting Sponsor for the 69th consecutive year.
Our second President & CEO, Dr. Charles N. Kimball helped establish the Greater Kansas City Science and Engineering Fair (GKCSEF) in 1952 with the goal of developing and retaining scientific knowledge and expertise in the Midwest. Today, the event supports and inspires students from elementary, middle, and high schools from across the 15-county region.
