Meredith College’s School of Natural and Mathematical Sciences will host the State Science Fair of North Carolina on Saturday, March 24.

This year marks the 20th consecutive year North Carolina has held a statewide science fair.

The State Science Fair will be open to the public from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. in the Science and Mathematics Building’s atrium. During this time student exhibitors will be available to discuss their work.

Open to grades 3 through 12, the State Science Fair allows students to pursue their interests in science and technology and to display their research as a presentation in a public competitive forum.

The State Science Fair of North Carolina is designed to create enthusiasm in science and technology while encouraging project-based inquiry. This fair gives our students the chance to compete for college scholarships, awards, honors programs and other exciting prizes.
