I have coordinated this event for the past 5 years. It started out as a small homeschool science fair then expanded to include private schools. High Point University has graciously hosted this science fair all these years. The professors and students have done an amazing job in promoting science to hundreds of students, showing them that science is both exciting and fun.
I am truly grateful for HPU's generosity in hosting this event. I am also grateful for the financial support from Classical Conversations. Both HPU and CC have been instrumental in equipping students to be creative and critical thinkers.
I am also impressed with the students who have attended this fair over the years. They are very bright as exemplified not only by the quality and depth of their science fair projects but also by their attentiveness during the science demonstrations and hands-on activities. The students are very sharp indeed.
Winners of this fair advance to the Region 5 Science Fair in Winston-Salem and from there, can advance to the NC State Science Fair in Raleigh.
If you would like to know the results of this year's fair or would like more information about the fair, you may email me at jrhensmjt@gmail.com .
