OGCS Loves its Teachers!
Join the 3rd Annual HST Virtual Science Fair
The Home Science Tools Virtual Science Fair is designed to make science fair participation feel possible, rewarding, and fun—for students and parents alike. Kids in grades K–12 design and conduct their own experiments, follow the scientific method, and share what they discover in a short, 1– to 5-minute video. No complicated setups or in-person events. Just curiosity, experimentation, and pride in the process.
Pre-registration is now open, making it easy to get started early and stay confident along the way. Students who pre-register receive guidance, project ideas, and weekly prompts to help learners build, test, and refine their experiments at their own pace. Whether this is your child’s first science fair or their third, support is built in—so learning feels exciting, not overwhelming.
This is an opportunity for kids to explore questions they care about, think like scientists, and share their work with confidence. From first hypotheses to final presentations, the Virtual Science Fair celebrates curiosity, effort, and discovery at every level.

Tutoring appointments are available for all subjects including assistance with projects, lab assignments and worksheets (look for the link on your student's weekly update).
