Science Fair Information

Science Fair Overview

RCSS Science and Engineering Fair honors RCSS student excellence in science, mathematics, technology, and engineering.

Science and Engineering Fair requires a varied range of essential life and career skills: reading, writing, math, critical thinking, ethics, communication and graphic arts.
