Science Fair

SETAC OVC jointly sponsored three science fair awards with Sigma Xi at this spring’s annual Science and Engineering Expo at the University of Cincinnati on March 13^th. This science fair was a regional fair; open to grades 7-12 in a five-county area in Southwest Ohio who had scored “superior” at their school science fair. Our first place award ($100) went to Erica How, second prize was ($50) to Sohum Talreja, and there was a third place tie ($25) to Scott Cupito and Steven Schmidt for outstanding environmental projects. Our award winners also did well with other judges. Steven Schmidt and Scott Cupito also won $50 from AWWA.  Erica How won $75 from SWOWEA and $150 from the College of Education, Criminal Justice and Human Services.  Sohum Talreja won $100 from the Alliance of Chemical Safety. These were truly great posters of great projects.
