Some students may look to their parents for guidance in designing a science project. If you have little or no experience developing a science project, the Science Fair 101 presentation might help. 

Science Fair 101 demonstrates the science project basics for parents. The presentation is FREE, lasts around 30-45 minutes, is held in the evening and is appropriate for grades K-6.

 

Science Fair 101, presented by the Synopsys Outreach Foundation, will be held on Wednesday, February 26, 2020 from 6:00 pm to 6:45 pm in the Ruskin Multipurpose Room.  All interested parents are welcome. Please mark your interest on the Science Fair Participation Slip so we can get a general estimate of attendees.

Ruskin Elementary School would like to acknowledge the Synopsys Silicon Valley Science and Technology Outreach Foundation for their generous support of the Ruskin Science Fair.  The Foundation, headquartered in Mountain View, champions activities and programs that enhance science and math education. The Foundation’s Science-O-Rama program provides support for high school and middle school science fairs. The Foundation is also a sponsor of the regional science fair, “The Synopsys Silicon Valley Science and Technology Championship."
