CREST Enrichment
STEM Fair
The STEM Fair is coming soon! This is an optional event for TK-5th graders. Students choose a project that uses scientific inquiry to solve a problem or answer a queston. Students work on this project independently at home, with parent support (although projects should be student-led). All students who participate will be provided with a tri-fold display board, upon receipt of the permission slip. Students will be filmed presenting their project, so real scientists as "judges" can view the projects and share comments with the students. At the actual STEM Fair students will share their projects with the community, and award winners will be announced.
- Permission Slips are Due March 10.
- Projects are due March 20, with filming of student presentations that day for the judges.
- The STEM Fair is March 24 6-7pm in the Auditorium and is open to the school community.
