Mission
- To provide a quality science fair by helping participants to develop projects and communicate their understanding of the scientific method and/or engineering principles.

Why Participate in the Science Fair?

Because it’s fun! Besides that, it gives students the opportunity to apply knowledge they have and to add to that knowledge in a project that interests them. They are able to combine knowledge from different areas to make a complete project. This is not just practice but a real application to real problems. Besides, you just might win something!
