LIKE MINDS SCIENCE FAIR

SCIENCE FAIR

The Like Minds Science Fair is an opportunity for students to apply scientific method to conduct independent research on a topic of their own choice. Students’ final presentations consisted of a written scientific report displaying the results of their research and/or experiment, a short 2-minute oral presentation, and an interview by Science Fair Judges.
