The STEM Fair is an exciting opportunity for students to showcase their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics projects to expert judges and the wider community. Its goal is to spark curiosity and inspire a love for STEM through hands-on exploration. Whether you’re testing a hypothesis, building an innovative device, or tackling a real-world problem, your work helps advance STEM learning and motivates others.
All Lawrence students in grades K–8 are encouraged to participate!
