Science fair
Overview
Our annual science fairs are a wonderful opportunity for students to reach into the depths of curiosity, the very nature of science. Science has been, and always will be, a venture of exploration. This event is a chance for students to explore whatever topic excites or concerns them. There is no tether of curriculum, just good natured fun!
First and foremost, it is supposed to be both challenging and fun. Students are often most successful with the science fair when they pick a topic that they are interested in. The pride and excitement that comes from a student who has put in all the work, learned so much, and is just excited to show off their efforts is so exhilarating.

Typically each student puts their project with all the titles/pictures/information on a sectioned poster board.
Each project will be set up in a work space, and throughout the day judges will come by to question and listen to the student’s findings.
The entire Harkness community, students, parents, teachers, alumni and sponsors are invited to participate and see the students ‘achievements.
To round off the event, professionals from various fields of science and technology address the students in a series of conferences.
