Yes, Stanford very much likes to see engagement in science fairs and other similar endeavors (if that’s your thing; for students in other areas, such as music, the equivalent would be music competitions). If you really want to impress Stanford admissions, try to go for the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) or Science Talent Search (STS). Students who make it to these routinely get into Stanford, Harvard, MIT, etc. Some say that placing at ISEF is a near guarantee into any university you want.
