Results
of the 29th Annual Saginaw County Science & Engineering Fair March 16-18, 2007The Saginaw County Science & Engineering Fair is sponsored by the
Community Education Department of the Saginaw Public Schools, in cooperation
with the Dow Corning Corporation and local businesses and organizations. Congratulations
to all of our students. We had a total of 311
students participating in this year’s SCSEF. The Saginaw County Science &
Engineering Fair (SCSEF) is affiliated with
the Michigan Science & Engineering Fair (MichSEF)
and the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF).
As an affiliate, Saginaw County can send five students in each of our Junior
and Elementary sections to the Discovery Channel Young Scientists Challenge,
ten Senior Division students to the MISEF and two Senior Division students to
the Intel ISEF. We have four types of awards: Special
Awards, Category Awards, Grand Awards and Future Competition Qualifiers. Special Awards
come from organizations wishing to reward student research in a particular
area of research or using a particular methodology. Category awards are within the
student’s research category, such as Botany, Chemistry, Engineering, etc. Grand Awards
are the recognition of First Class projects. Future Competition Qualifiers are students who placed in the top 5 of the Elementary or Junior
Divisions and have qualified for the Discovery Channel Young Scientist
Challenge, or Senior Division students who placed in the top 10 and will
represent Saginaw County at the MichSEF, or Senior Division students who
placed first or second and will represent Saginaw County at the Intel ISEF. We
awarded a total of 180 awards to 118 students. |
