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.”
