Ever wonder...
- Is it really ok to eat food off the floor following the 5 second rule?
- What's a fun and creative way to turn on your holiday lights?
- How do hydraulics work?
Our young scientists and engineers know the answers to these questions and more!
Friday, judges picked the winners of our annual District-wide Virtual Science and Engineering Fair. Check the fair website for a list of the winners and to view the school-level winning projects. The first place district-wide winners are now eligible to compete in the North Carolina 3A Regionals Science and Engineering Fair in February in Durham.
Great job, scientists and engineers! Now, please come help us with our holiday lights. 🙏 🎄
