Are you a budding scientist, biologist, chemist, physicist, programmer, engineer or just someone who has a lot of questions that start with how, why or what if? If you are, then we hope you’ll sign up to be a part of the Maurice Hawk Science Fair!

Come up with a question about astronomy, robotics, AI, natural science and the workings of our planet or maybe what happens when baking soda and vinegar hang out together and conduct some research, design some experiments and record your findings and conclusions. Then put it all together in a colorful presentation to share with everyone at the Science Fair.

You can sign up by yourself or with a team of 1 or 2 friends or siblings and then it’s time to get to work asking questions, exploring possibilities and finding answers!

The HAWK SCIENCE FAIR will take place on:
Saturday, February 9th 2019, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
at Maurice Hawk School (Snow date is February 23rd).

Please read the very important parent and student information.
