Freeport High School recently held its 18th annual science and engineering fair, where students showcased their innovative research projects in a variety of fields such as chemistry, engineering, environmental science, health, medicine, and zoology.
Under the guidance of science teacher Brian Snyder, the students explored topics ranging from the toxicity of “green” detergents to the effects of UV light on crystal formations and the possibility of measuring concentration based on brain activity.
The fair was an excellent opportunity for students to apply the STEM knowledge they had gained in their high school years and exhibit their research skills to a team of judges. These judges included high school teachers and administrators, science and engineering professionals, and college professors. Throughout the day, the students presented their projects with pride, discussing their findings and demonstrating their passion for science.
Kishore Kuncham, superintendent of schools, praised the hard work of the students, stating that the annual science and engineering fair was one of the most significant STEM events in the district.
“The annual science and engineering fair is one of the premier STEM events for our district,” Kuncham said. “It features the diligent efforts of our students and allows them to exhibit their research and all they have learned since entering the high school.”
The fair not only allowed the students to showcase their research but also gave them a chance to demonstrate all they have learned since entering the high school.
The science and engineering fair is an essential part of Freeport High School’s science department’s efforts to provide students with a platform to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. The event encourages students to think creatively and conduct original research in various scientific fields, enhancing their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
The fair’s success reflects the hard work and dedication of both the students and the science department. Such events are crucial in encouraging students to pursue scientific careers and contribute to the development of the world around them.
