Congratulations to all students who participated in the 2022 Contra Costa County Science & Engineering Fair! We hope students enjoyed the virtual experience and opportunity to highlight individual ingenuity and creativity used in projects during the March 11th judging process.
We commend all fair participants for pursuing STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) while overcoming the challenges arising from the pandemic. You should be proud of your accomplishments! Not all students who apply to the fair make it through the rigorous process, and not all who complete the process, follow through to the end. Again, congratulations!
The Science Fair is pleased to be able to showcase the talents of Contra Costa County's best young scientists and engineers. The 2022 awards for the fair have been posted today and may be viewed here:
Highlighted are student placement awards (first through fourth place); Best of Fair signified by a sweepstakes ribbon offering the opportunity for further competitive events including Broadcom MASTERS National Science Fair (grades 7-8) and International Science & Engineering Fair (grades 9-12). A certificate icon indicates one or more special awards were conferred on the project, including the opportunity to compete in the California State Science & Engineering Fair.
A complete list of the projects and specific awards will be posted on this website in a few days. Please keep checking for a detailed list.
The Contra Costa Science Fair would not be possible without the support of our sponsors: Chevron, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Henkel Aerospace, Contra Costa County Water and Waste Water Agencies, Mt. Diablo Amateur Radio Club, Contra Costa County Office of Education, and more. Countless hours were also donated by long-term volunteers including 68 industry judges—all are dedicated to bringing this opportunity to the children of Contra Costa!
At the conclusion of the March 11th event, one judge comment reflects what all of the Science Fair staff and judges feel about the opportunity to provide such an experience to Contra Costa’s budding young scientists and engineers, “The future is in good hands.”
