The Barrow County School System Science & Engineering Fair was held on Friday, January 10th at the Center for Innovative Teaching. 85 students presented 50 different research projects that were judged by a panel of 15 different STEM professionals from throughout Northeast Georgia.
All GOLD medal projects will advance to the Northeast Georgia Regional Fair held on January 31st in Winterville, Georgia. Thank you to Georgia Power for sponsoring the Barrow Science & Engineering Fair again this year. They fueled our students and judges with lunch, participated as judges, and provided award prizes for the top junior and senior project. Each Top Project received a $50 cash prize.
