Science Fair Achievements
Chantilly had another successful science fair this week. While initially the science fair was going to be in-person, it was during winter break and an Omicron increase that had us pivoting to a virtual fair. There was participation of over 260 projects including 492 students and 62 judges. Student prepared Flipgrid presentations and judges watched them prior to the main event on February 2, 2022. Then with four zoom meetings, each with 8 breakout rooms aligned to corresponding categories students met with judges for 10 minutes of live ‘question and answer’ sessions. Judges then deliberated and the following projects were selected as winners.
