For the first time in its 67-year history, the North Museum Science and Engineering Fair will take place in the Student Memorial Center at Millersville University, Marauder Courts, 81 Shenks Lane, Millersville. This year's event will be held on Thursday, March 14.
The event will showcase projects from more than 325 Lancaster County students in seventh through 12th grades. Student scientists will compete for cash prizes as well as invitations to other science fairs, such as the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). The grand champion of the science fair will attend the ISEF with his or her family courtesy of North Museum. This year, the ISEF will take place in Phoenix from Sunday, May 12, to Friday, May 17. The ISEF welcomes approximately 1,800 high school students from more than 75 countries, regions, and territories as they compete for an average of $4 million in prizes.
Students competing in the science fair have worked on their projects since the fall of 2018. The museum's volunteer judges include more than 100 local science professionals, teachers, and scholars. The judging will take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the public is welcome to attend the fair for free from 4 to 6 p.m. to view the student projects. The awards ceremony, also free of charge, will take place immediately after the public hours, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Pucillo Gymnasium, 125 Pucillo Drive, Millersville.
