We asked students all over the Lehigh Valley to submit their science fair projects for our first ever Virtual Science Fair Showcase. Check out their projects below by clicking on a category or grade level.
We sincerely thank the science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) professionals who commented on student projects. These comments provide constructive feedback on what worked well in the projects and how participants can improve their STEAM skills for the future. Comments were sent from the Science Center directly to the students.
