The students that choose to participate in the Science Fair show that they have the work ethic and dedication needed to help improve the future. Students create a hypothesis, conduct an experiment, share their results, and compete to win prizes in their category with hopes of advancing to the regional, state, and national level. Competing at the Science fair can also give student an advantage on their college resume. Students who placed 1st-3rd at the regional level advance to the state level. Congratulations to all of the winners of science fair and good luck to those students who will be competing at the State Science Fair at LSU next week!
