WRSEF 2021 Awards

It has been my honor to be the director of the Wamego Regional Science Fair for the past 12 years… actually, 11 -- we did not have a STATE fair last year due to Covid-19.    We are, therefore, grateful to have ANY kind of fair, and though we would have preferred it to be live and “normal”- we are all coming to discover we can do amazing things remotely… even science fairs.

I want to thank our judges for giving their time to judge the entries.  A big thank you to teachers and adult sponsors for shepherding the next generation of  thinkers!  Thank you parents, for your patience and encouragement.   

I personally owe much gratitude to Deborah Sylvester for her help and support over the many years of science fair.  I would like to thank Maddy Anderson for her help and support as Wamego High School’s Science Club President.

Finally, I thank Vannevar Bush, inventor of the internet.

And now...the awards.  I personally believe you are all winners for having done the science fair at all - and I wish I could advance everyone to State competition, but State Science Fair regulations stipulate that the top ⅓ of all entries within a division may advance to state.  

If your entry was not selected to advance to state, I offer a free commemorative T-shirt.   Please email me with your T-shirt size and the name and address of your school,

IF you are chosen for advancement, you will be receiving a letter explaining the next steps in a day or so.

Congratulations to all!
