NORTH MUSEUM SCIENCE & ENGINEERING FAIR

The winners of the 58th annual North Museum Science & Engineering Fair were announced March 30, 2011 to a crowd of over 800 students, parents, teachers, and community members. Divisional awards were also handed out in 22 categories, as well as auxiliary awards by 50 community organizations. This photo shows Junior Division champions Hannah Buckwalter ( Reserve Champion) and Maya Rao ( Champion), and Senior Champions Sarah Thompson ( Reserve), Marian Bechtel ( Champion), and Ben Clark ( Grand Champion). This year was very remarkable in that five of our participating students advanced to national or international levels of competition after completion of the NMSEF. 

Is this the most successful single county Science Fair around? Check out just some of the successes of our past champions in other national science competitions even beyond the International Science and Engineering Fair..
