STEM FAIR: FEBRUARY, 24th 2023
The STEM Fair is an event where students can showcase science and engineering projects. Prior to the event, students find a question or problem that interests them. They build prototypes or conduct experiments, sharing what they learned with their peers. Students may win awards based on quality of their projects and presentations.
The STEM Fair will be held during normal school hours at the Rochester Regional Sports Complex at RCTC on Friday, February 24th, 2023.
