Science Fair, 2020 update!

Hi All,

Thanks to all who have signed up for the science fair. We have 36 science presentations this year!

The science fair will be in the Van Arsdale gym from 4- 6 pm on Feb 21. Participants will need to set up their presentations in the gym before school that day. The gym will be open by 7 am for set-up.

Please be back at the gym sometime between 4:30-6:30 to showcase your work and answer questions from curious attendees. Since it is during dinner time, all participants will receive dinner – pizza and a drink for free. All other attendees can purchase pizza and drinks – two slices and a drink for $4 or $2 a slice and $1 a drink.

We will also be having a fun engineering contest during the fair. Come one, come all and see what you can create. Anyone is eligible to try their hand at being a master builder. There will be a small prize for the winning person or team.

Prizes and participation certificates will be handed out at 5:45 and the fair will be over at 6.

We are so excited to have a great turn out and show the community how important and fun science can be.

Please let me know if you have any questions – Jamie Cole – [email protected].

Thanks,

Jamie
