  Science Fair

Every student at The Engineering School participated in the school Science Fair on January 29, 2008


The Science Fair was a significant part of class time through the fall semester. Every student in the school was required to do a project and present it at the TES Science-Engineering Expo night. Many of our engineering students even had to do TWO projects, as they were also taking physics!

Starting in September, we guided the students through a process of finding projects, performing experiments, designing and building prototypes, and finally preparing presentations of their work. There were some kinks that still needed to be worked out in the last few weeks, but many of the students produced outstanding projects.
