CSRA
Science and Engineering Fair
The
Savannah River Regional Science and Engineering fair is back!
With the help of Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC,
the University of South Carolina Aiken (USCA), and the Ruth
Patrick Science Education Center, the Savannah River Regional
Science and Engineering Fair will take place at USCA on Saturday,
March 14, 2009.
The
Savannah River Regional Science and Engineering Fair will
give young people from the area the opportunity to explore
the world of science and technology and develop their scientific
investigation skills and knowledge by planning, constructing
and exhibiting their own "hands-on" science projects.
Projects are judged for scientific reasoning, creative ability,
thoroughness, technical skill and clarity. The science fair
promotes students' interest by providing public recognition
of outstanding work and by giving students the opportunity
to interact with community scientists.
First
place winning project by 4th through 12th graders from school
science fairs will be invited to enter the 2009 CSRA Regional
Science and Engineering Fair. Projects will arrive and be
set-up at USCA in the afternoon and early evening of Friday,
March 13, 2009, and the morning of Saturday, March 14, 2009.
Project judging and the award ceremony will follow. Lots of
great prizes will be given out during the awards ceremony.
As in the past, judging will be performed by scientific, engineering
and other technical professionals from SRS, USCA and the surrounding
community.
