Bagby STEAM Fair - May 23, 2024
(will be held during the Open House)
Use your scientific, design, and creative skills to create a project for STEAM Fair 2024! STEAM, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math, provides students the opportunity to develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills through projects that encourage them to design, explore, question, build, and iterate.
A science project can be an experiment, a demonstration, a short research paper on any scientific topic, or a collection of science-themed items. For the STEAM Fair 2023, you may choose to do an experiment or a demonstration. You can also choose to do an engineering/design project. More details are provided on the website. |
