STEM Academy Research Club - End of Year Results...what an amazing year!

Submitted by Mr. Anton Ocepek

Our science fair season is finally over after approximately four months of competition!  Students in the club were highly successful; the students were offered a potential $36,000 in scholarships, at least two students placed in every PJAS and ISEF competition this year, and earned $200 in prizes this year. A full list of the full awards won by students can be found below.  The success of the students is in large part due to the guidance from highly qualified scientists serving as fair judges – so we thank everyone for their support of the next generation of scientists.
