Everything Science Fair - Your Guide to a Successful Fair

Bring NGSS Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs) to life in your classroom by letting students guide their research.  Learn how to help students create successful projects and host a science fair at your school. You will also learn about how to participate in a Regional Science and Engineering Fair. During the workshop, you’ll create your own mini-project and discuss potential pitfalls and teacher collaboration. All participants will leave with Andi’s Science Fair “Book” that helps walk you and students through the process.  

Come learn from Andi Dale, who has developed a very successful science fair at South Central Middle School in Protection, KS.  This year, for the first time, SCMS took 17 students to a Regional Science and Engineering Fair, where 9 students qualified for the Kansas State Science and Engineering Fair.  Four of those students placed 1st at the state competition and one placed 3rd!
