Dear Educator,
Thank-you for all of your efforts in helping your students to
more fully appreciate and understand all aspects of the sciences, math and
engineering. When it comes down to it, you have been entrusted to help
shape and mold the future of your students, our country and our world.
This truly is an awesome responsibility. Remember that all of our famous
scientists and engineers were once students themselves who were probably
inspired and certainly encouraged by their teachers.
We believe that science fairs are an important means of teaching students about
science or engineering through hands-on experiences. That is why we are
here to help you prepare your students to undertake science projects and to help
you to possibly host a science fair at your school.
Please follow the links below to key areas of support.
If you have never run a science fair before or would like to learn more about
running a science fair at your school, NEOSEF if offering a free teachers' in-service
in October at the Great Lakes Science Center. See the current NEOSEF
Handbook for date and time. Reservations are required. If you miss the in-service this year, look
for it again next year.
