AASU to Host Savannah-Ogeechee Regional Science and Engineering Fair

Savannah, GA—January 30, 2004—Armstrong Atlantic State University will host the Savannah-Ogeechee Regional Science and Engineering Fair on February 13. The fair will begin at 6 p.m. and will conclude with an awards ceremony at 7 p.m. in AASU’s Sports Center. The event is free and open to the public.

The regional fair provides a forum for learning that helps students solve problems using organized and logical thought processes. The competition encourages students to explore and investigate their world through hands-on research. Project categories include botany, computer science, and engineering.

Participants were selected based on their outstanding performance at the local high school fairs. This year, 225 students from 35 middle and high schools in Chatham, Effingham, Liberty, Bryan, Long, and Bulloch counties will compete in the fair. Awards for excellence will be presented to the students who submit the best projects. Forty-two students will go on to represent the region at the Georgia Science and Engineering Fair in Athens. Two students will be selected to attend the fifty-fifth International Science and Engineering Fair held in Portland, Oregon.
