They helped with scoring the final rounds of contestants in the 6th annual fair, a rigorous and competitive event.  Winners of the PCSS STEM fair go on to compete at the regional, state and national science/engineering competitions.

Our participation in this event was coordinated through Mahmut Bekin, a chemistry instructor and head of the science department at PCSS.
