OVER 1,000 SLPS STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN ANNUAL ST.LOUIS SCIENCE FAIR

(St. Louis)—Over 1,000 students from the St. Louis Public Schools (SLPS) participated in the St. Louis Science Fair this year. The fair, which ends today, is located at the St. Louis Science Center, 5050 Oakland Ave. The annual event drew more than 310 projects from SLPS students.

The science fair is a preliminary event to the St. Louis Queeny Park Science Fair, which is traditionally held later in the year. “The projects this year are excellent,” said Olga Hunt, SLPS science supervisor. “Their participation gives them a sense of accomplishment and it is the best way to prepare them for the MAP test.”

One of the highlighted experiments is from Carr Lane Visual and Performing Arts Middle where students developed a project entitled “Super-Size the Bacteria.” Hunt says that experiment “is something to see.”

The fair will conclude today at 4:30 p.m.
