Students make good chemistry at the San Diego Science Fair
By: Meredith HattamThe Greater San Diego Science Fair is the only event of its kind in the county, and it happens just once a year. Now in its 56th incarnation, over 700 students – hand-picked from a pool of 7,000 – submitted their science projects to the competition, and the winners will take home a cash prize and compete nationally. Their projects ranged from traditional fare, like exploring the effects of global warming, to the creative, like experiments involving copious amounts of caffeine. The fair’s rich history is also a draw for former students, who keep coming back to visit some of San Diego’s brightest young minds.
