Science projects getting more sophisticated

science-fair-2020

The Lee Auditorium was covered with science projects by kindergarten and elementary schools students from public and private schools.

More than 160 projects are displayed and the students had to answer judges questions this morning before parents and the public were able to view their experiments and displays.

Judges commented that each year the entries get more sophisticated.
