CANTON, Mo. – Culver-Stockton College will host dozens of area high school students Saturday, Feb. 25 during the 54th Annual Science Fair on the campus of Culver-Stockton College.

We value these achievements highly at Culver-Stockton College, and we know that the science fair helps foster a continuing interest in the sciences in younger students,” comments Lauren Schellenberger, chair of the Natural and Mathematical Sciences Division and assistant professor of biology.

Project set-up will begin at 8 a.m. in the Culver-Stockton Science Center, with judging to begin 9:15 a.m. Parents and the public are invited to view projects from 11 a.m. to noon. Announcements and awards will begin at 2 p.m. in Merillat Chapel inside the Robert W. Brown Performing Arts Center.
