Science contests and competitions present wonderful opportunities for students to apply their skills and to learn more. While many science competitions are held in schools (sometimes through a selective or nominating process), there are also contests that students can enter independently, whether as individual competitors or as part of a team. Some of these contests offer prizes and awards for the students and the schools, as well as the chance to travel for national or international competitions.
