NCSEF Student wins 2nd Place in the Taiwan International Science Fair
Kevin Frink, a student at Isaac Bear Early College High School in New Hanover County, recently won 2nd place for physics in the Taiwan International Science Fair for his project "Carbon Nanostructures Via Dry Ice Exposed to High Temperature". Kevin was a top winner at the 2012 NC Science & Engineering Fair and earned a spot at the 2012 International Science and Engineering Fair in Pittsburgh. There he won the K. T. Li Foundation Special Award which covered travel and expenses for the Taiwan International Fair.
Why participate in the science fair?
Science Fairs provide an opportunity for students, 3rd through 12th grades, who are interested in science and technology to pursue their personal areas of interest and to display their research as a presentation in a public competitive forum. The NC Science and Engineering Fair works to create enthusiasm in science and technology while encouraging project-based inquiry. This fair gives our students the chance to compete for college scholarships, awards, honors programs and other exciting prizes.
Learn How to Do a Science Fair Project—New Video Series from NASA JPL
The Education Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has released a video series designed to take teachers, students, and parents through the process of crafting a science fair project.
The six-part video series features JPL scientist Serina Diniega, engineer Arby Argueta, and educator Ota Lutz, who team up to take viewers step by step through the project design process, from generating an idea to communicating the final results in an attractive display.
