“The fair was a major success. The school kids were very enthusiastic and clearly enjoyed being able to display their academic efforts. Many thanks to the volunteer judges from the community and the college faculty, staff and students,” said Indiren Pillay, chair of the C-SC natural and mathematic sciences division and director of the science fair. Projects were ranked on creative development, scientific thought, thoroughness of data, skill, clarity of display, and clarity of explanations. Overall there were 18 ribbons given to senior high school students and 27 ribbons awarded to junior high school students who participated. There were 36 judges from C-SC faculty, students, and community members. “As a judge for the junior high health and medicine category, I was surprised by how knowledgeable the kids were. Each of them did a fantastic job in each topic they chose including experimental design, hypothesis, normal human subject experiment procedure, and literature review,” said Wei Li, C-SC assistant professor of biology. "Many of the projects were extremely impressive. The students were clearly engaged in the process of scientific inquiry, and they were very enthusiastic about sharing their results with the public. They were also excited to be on the Culver-Stockton College campus, interacting with college science students and faculty,” said Lauren Schellenberger, C-SC assistant professor of biology. There were nine junior high categories and seven senior high categories, all which placed the top three exhibits in each division. Southeastern Junior/Senior High School, Augusta, Ill., received the outstanding chapter awards for both the junior and senior divisions. For a complete list of winners, click here.
