The judges for the science fair include local educators and those in the scientific fields of engineering, chemistry, and medicine. They are Elizabeth Benz, Debbie Sage, Keith Maule, Jim Hill, Erik Johnson and Dr. RJ Tacia.

“The students and I learned a tremendous amount about the scientific method and proper research and analysis over the past 10 weeks,” said Kathy Wilson, the students’ Challenge A seventh- and eighth-grade tutor. “I encouraged the students to select projects they would find particularly interesting as they walked through the scientific method.”

“The study of science is an exciting way to learn about the thinking process of scientists and God’s design in the universe,” she added.
