Little Flower School Science Fair

(Western Nevada Regional Science & Engineering Fair)

March 29-31, 2012 | Lawlor Events Center, University of Nevada In 2011, over 1,000 projects and inventions were exhibited at the fair (12 Nevada Counties, over 100 different public, private, charter and parochial elementary, middle and high schools) representing students from Ely to Zephyr Cove and from Gerlach to Minden. When we trace the impact of our regional fair, we find that over 20,000 students participated in local, school, and county fairs in order to reach our regional fair.

The Science Fair is an exciting experience for both the students and teachers who participate. We continually provide ongoing classes the teachers to help teachers improve the level of science displayed at the fair. We believe this event is an inspiration to the next generation of scientist, engineers and state leaders of tomorrow.
