Are you interested in presenting in the science fair and/or science challenge at DaVinci Fest but don’t know how to get started? This club will help you choose a topic, run experiments, collect data, and prepare you for a showcase at the DaVinci Fest. You can choose from a variety of topics within science including engineering, chemistry, robotics, environmental and more... The club is open to students grades 6th-12th from OMS, SMS or SAHS. Students from OMS or SMS can take the activity bus that runs to SAHS after school. Joining the club commits you to presenting your exhibit at the DaVinci Fest on Saturday, January 25th, 2025. The cost of class does not include presentation materials and any extra supplies needed to run experiments. DaVinci Fest is an annual community event celebrating art and science hosted by The Partnership Plan, the education fund for Stillwater Area Public Schools. At its core, it showcases the incredible talents and creativity of the youth who live in the St. Croix River Valley. DaVinci Fest is an all-day event, but the morning consists of 3 fairs: Science, Art and Upcycling. Any students grade 6-12 can enter projects into one or more of the fairs. Projects entered in the fairs are judged against their peers and while students can choose a preferred judging slot, students must be able to be in-person at SAHS to meet the judges on the morning of January 25th, 2025. This course is being offered as a way to assist kids who may want to participate but who don’t know where to start or who just want one-on-one guidance as they prepare their projects. More info about DaVinci Fest can be found at https://partnershipplan.org/davincifest We are able to offer this club at a nominal fee due to funds from The Partnership Plan.
