Winners
This past spring, tens
of thousands of students in grades 5 through 8 competed in Science Service-affiliated
science fairs. Winners at those
fairs were then nominated to enter their projects in the 2004 DCYSC. From
this outstanding pool of students, DCYSC judges selected 400 talented semifinalists
based on the scientific merit of their work and their ability to communicate
the science of their projects.
Among these 400 amazing
entries, 40 finalists will be chosen to enter their projects in the 2004
DCYSC. The finalists were
chosen based upon the excellence of their projects presented at local
Science
Service-affiliated
science fairs
across the country. During
the DCYSC finals, the finalists will present their research projects to judges
to demonstrate their communication skills and creative thinking.
Thirty students from the 2004 Metro Richmond Science Fair entered
their projects into the DCYSC.
