Again this year Frederick
County Public Schools is sponsoring a secondary county-wide science and
engineering fair. The secondary fair
will be held on
April 2, 2016. The
secondary fair will be split into two divisions: middle school and high school, but there will
be one unified science fair booklet. The winning
high school design will be featured on the front cover of the booklet. The winning
middle school design will be featured on the back cover of the booklet. Honorable mention winners from both
divisions will be published inside the booklet.
In addition, divisional winners and honorable mentions will be announced
on Channel 18 the week following the fair.
All winners will be invited to the awards ceremony on April 2, 2016. Award certificates
not distributed at that time will be sent to the sponsoring teacher at the
school. The top winner at each level will win a gift card along with a
certificate.
