All Elgin School students grades 5th-8th complete a traditional science fair experiment or engineering project each year. This year’s projects were some of the most creative ever!
From designing cleaning gloves with scrubbing sponges attached to make it easier for people with weak hand grip strength to investigating if solar or wind power is more efficient in Sonoita, our students came up with some really great projects. Here are the results for this year’s science fair:
