2024 Science Fair is Right Around the Corner!

Greetings,

We are excited to inform you that the district science fair has been scheduled for January 19, 2024. It is an event that has proven to be an excellent platform for our learners to showcase their scientific knowledge and creativity.

The Science Fair is not only an opportunity for learners to explore their interests in science but also a chance for them to develop critical thinking skills, enhance their presentation abilities, and foster a passion for inquiry-based learning. We believe that encouraging our learners to participate in the Science Fair will contribute to their academic growth and cultivate a lifelong love for science.

The flyer and the Science Fair Guide are attached to this email to facilitate this process. The flyer has two pages (Page 1 in color and Page 2 in black and white). The guide explains the process and steps that will help the learners, parents, and teachers work collaboratively on the science projects. The flyer contains detailed information about the event, categories, and registration links.
