Fifteen Spring ISD students shined bright during the 2022-23 District Science Fair held at Roberson Middle School earlier this month. District fair winners will take nine projects to the Science and Engineering Fair of Houston, a regional event that will be hosted at the George R. Brown Convention Center in February.
The journey to becoming district winners began during the fall semester as students identified topics for research, conducted experiments and showcased their projects at the campus level. The campus-level science fair competitions started as early as October of 2022 and concluded in December 2022, the top three entries from each campus moved on to the district fair for the last round of judging.
The students were judged in 14 entry categories including Aerospace Engineering, Behavioral and Social Sciences, Biochemistry and Microbiology, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Materials, Chemistry, Earth and Environmental, Embedded Systems, Energy and Transportation, Engineering Mechanics, Environmental Engineering, Medical and Health, Plant Sciences, Physics and Astronomy.
The Science and Engineering Fair of Houston serves as the regional fair for all junior and senior high school students in Harris County and 22 surrounding counties. Major regional fair winners are eligible to compete in the annual International Science and Engineering Fair, set to take place May 13-19 in Dallas.
