JLS Science Fair 2008

Overview

Science is a part of our lives in the modern world regardless of what profession or path we choose. The JLS Science Fair aims to encourage children to explore "the pleasure of finding things out" (paraphrasing the physicist Richard Feynman) - the joy and skill of which, will help them throughout their life. This year, the entire 7th grade will be participating. Participation for 6th and 8th grade is optional.

The JLS Science Fair 2008 will be held on January 30th and 31st (Wed/Thur) 2008 in the JLS Cafetorium.

The JLS Science Fair would like to acknowledge the Synopsys Silicon Valley Science and Technology Outreach Foundation, the JLS Administration, JLS Science Teachers and the JLS PTA for their generous support of the Science Fair for 2007-2008.

Announcements

	Please excuse some roughness on this site. Our server crashed over the summer, but we hope to work out most of the bugs over the next couple of weeks.
	We parent organizers, volunteers, webmaster, and judges. If you are a new parent to JLS, please join us and help continue this great tradition!
	Judges are critical to the Science Fair to give children "real world" feedback with an adult that is not a parent or a teacher. Consider volunteering as a judge! Call for Judges
