SATURDAY: More Than $55,000 in Awards and Scholarships to Be Given Away Saturday at UC Science Fair
On Saturday, March 13, 400 students in grades 7 through 12 will gather at UC for the sixth-annual Science & Engineering Expo (SEE) to compete for more than $55,000 in awards and scholarships.
The students had to have earned a rating of superior in their schools fairs to participate in UCs SEE, representing the five counties of the Ohio Academy of Sciences Southwest District Hamilton, Preble, Warren, Butler and Clermont.
We were again worried going into this year with the economy the way it is, said Tom Cruse, director of the Science & Engineering Expo. Although some sponsors had to bow out, we were pleased that so many sponsors returned and even increased their contributions over previous years.

This year, of the 400 students with their 345 projects representing 39 schools (including several home-schooled students), 151 projects (and 15 alternates) will be eligible for the chance to compete at State Science Day on May 8 in Columbus. Students from UCs SEE will also be able to compete at the countrys largest science competition, the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), which takes place this year in San Jose, Calif., from May 914.
In addition to the scholarships and awards for the students themselves, the science fair at UC offers intangible rewards throughout the day. A day full of events involving science, technology, engineering, math and medicine (STEMM) takes place on campus with many hands-on activities and demonstrations for the public. All activities are free and open to the public.
