Young Scientists Compete at District Science Fair
 On Saturday, February 27, 2010, the Fontana Unified School District held its
annual Science Fair and this year’s competition had our greatest participation
level yet. Approximately 225 students with 162 projects from schools throughout the district
participated and of those, 43 individual and
28 teams will be advancing to the
county competition.
The District's Coordinator of Secondary Instruction, Kelly Allen, who coordinated the
district’s Science Fair, stated “We’re very proud of their accomplishments. All
the students took great pride and ownership of their projects.” Kudos to
all our young biologists, physicists, chemists, and environmentalists on a job
well done!
The students advancing to the county competition are listed below. At the
RIMS County Science and Engineering
Fair, they will compete against students from all over San Bernardino,
Riverside, Inyo, and Mono counties. The
RIMS County Science and Engineering
Fair will be held on April 13-14, 2010, at the Orange Show Fairgrounds in
San Bernardino.
