HOUGHTON -- The Western UP Center for Science, Mathematics and Environmental Education and Michigan Tech’s American Society of Engineering Education and the American Institute of Chemical Engineering are hosting the 12th Annual Western UP Science Fair on Monday, March 22, at the MTU Memorial Union Ballroom.
The event is valuable learning experience for students in grades 4-8. Students submit projects on experiments they conducted using the scientific method. They are judged on the scientific content of their written report, the presentation of their findings on a display board and the verbal communication of what they learned during an interview. Two judges will score each project independently of each other. Each project will receive a composite score from the two judges.
Each year, the number of registered projects is limited to 200 projects. Students may participate as individuals or with a partner. Currently 40 volunteers are available to judge the projects, but approximately 65 volunteers are needed. Please consider serving as a judge for the Western UP Science Fair. The contribution of your valuable time and expertise would be greatly appreciated.
