El Paso Sun Country Regional Science Fair stimulates and activates student interest in science and engineering, provides an exceptional experience for students through exposure to professional level judges, provides public recognition of talented students for their independent research efforts, and increases public awareness of the importance of science education in our society. The science fair project is the culmination of hard work and persistent investigation. It affords a young scientist the opportunity to share their interests with parents, relatives, neighbors, and teachers as well as the chance to be interviewed by the judges who are scientists, engineers, doctors, and others with scientific interests. The opportunity significantly contributes to the education of students in the thinking process of formulating the project and actually doing the experiments. It may mean the beginning of a life-long fascination with science. This year El Paso Regional Science Fair is going to host more than 600 projects giving opportunity to young minds to share their ideas and findings with the El Paso community. The fair will be held on February 25th, 2012 at UTEP Memorial Gym. |
