Personnel at Indiana University Research and Technology Corp. continue their mission to share their expertise with local, state and national audiences!
David Wilhite, Director of Technology Commercialization in Indianapolis, will judge science projects at Lantern Road Elementary School on Friday, February 3.
The science fair includes projects by students between first and fourth grade. Projects are divided into categories like biology, chemistry, earth and space science, and physics/engineering/math. The top three projects from fourth grade students will be invited to the 2017 Central Indiana Regional Science and Engineering Fair.
Wilhite said science fairs offer students the opportunity to do scientific experiments and introduce them to things they perhaps haven’t heard of before.
“There is a difference between learning science in a textbook and actually doing science. Most elementary students enjoy doing science. I hope they will become more interested in learning science as they continue in school,” he said.
Encouraging students to explore the world in a variety of scientific disciplines and celebrating their work: Well done, Dave!
