The Viewmont Elementary School Science and Engineering Fair is a great opportunity to engage with your children and discover a love for science! In past years Viewmont has had strong representation at the district and region competition levels hosted by the U of U, and we’d love to do it again!
All grade levels are welcome to participate, but 4th grade and younger are non-competitive.
Here are a few more places to find help:
Check out this webpage – Viewmont Science and Engineering Fair. It has all the information you need to participate in the fair.
Guidebooks – you can pick up a guidebook found across from the front office that you may find helpful in walking you and your child through a project. Your child can choose to take part in one of these categories; The Scientific Method or Engineering Design Process. There is a packet for whichever one your child decides to participate in.
