Science Fair Celebrates Scientists of Tomorrow
The Worcester County Science Fair was held at Worcester Technical High School on January 21 and featured close to 250 science projects. Students in first through twelfth grades, who were school-level winners, were invited to participate. Students submitted individual or group projects in either the experimental or non-experimental categories.
Below are photographs of some of our participants:
