The Science Expo is a voluntary opportunity for students in grades K through 5 to work independently or with a partner (friend, classmate, sibling) to develop a unique science demonstration or experiment. On the evening of the eXpo, students will display their projects at assigned stations in the gym or dining room. Each project is visited by a Guest Scientist who will talk with each young scientist to explore their discoveries. Families and friends can tour the exhibits to visit the creative projects and learn themselves! Each young scientist will receive a small gift to commemorate the event.
