Science and Engineering Fair

Westfield Public Schools aims to prepare all students with 21st century academic, social, civic and technological competencies and skills. The 21st century skills will require our students to be innovative, creative and collaborative, so that they can apply their knowledge to new and unique problems.

Participation in the Science, Technology, and Engineering Fair will:

Inspire students to become innovative thinkers and researchers in creative environments where students can gain an understanding of how to think and work as scientists and engineers;
Create opportunities for students to use higher order thinking skills and communicate their understandings effectively and
Puzzle with natural phenomenon and allow students to apply content knowledge to relevant situations, allowing them to explain the natural world.
