On March 20th, the STEM Fair provided students in grades 6 and 8 with the opportunity to apply the scientific method to conduct independent research on topics of their choice. The students’ efforts were showcased in the Main Gymnasium, where finalists presented their projects to fellow students, parents, and judges. Participants were evaluated on their proper usage of the scientific method, understanding of the topic, display, and verbal presentation. Congratulations to this year’s winners of the annual STEM Fair!
