The 7th Annual Science and Engineering Fair at Georgia College & State University was a huge success, with over 400 students from across the state participating in the event. This marked the largest group of elementary students to attend since its inception six years ago. Representatives from a hundred school districts were in attendance, making it a truly diverse and inclusive event.
The fair showcased some truly impressive projects, with judges having a difficult time selecting winners from such a talented pool. John Trombley, a Senior Chemistry Lecturer at GCSU and one of the judges, praised the high quality of work displayed by the students. He emphasized the importance of nurturing children’s curiosity and self-confidence through events like this one.
Fair Director Catrena Lisse also highlighted the significance of these events in encouraging young people to pursue their interests in science and technology. She expressed optimism about the future, stressing that these students had the potential to become future scientists, doctors, and agents at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). Approximately 70 projects were completed by students from middle Georgia alone, showcasing a wide range of innovative ideas and scientific inquiry.
