Week 27 of JHS Science|2023-24. "Several Decatur JHS Students Advanced to IL State STEM Fair!"
This week's slideshow highlights: two 7th grade and four 8th grade students have advanced onto the IL State STEM Fair! They presented their STEM inquiry projects to judges at the CPS Citywide STEM Fair on March 15th and learned of their advancement at the awards ceremony on March 16th at Illinois Institute of Technology. Several of them also earned monetary awards as well from various CPS STEM Fair corporate and philanthropic sponsors. These students will present at the IL State STEM Fair on May 3-4 at Milliken University in Decatur, IL. Six of our 6th graders also earned golden status, the highest award given out to 6th grade students! The STEM Fair project allows students the opportunity to choose their own topic of inquiry of a real-world based problem and combine their Science, Engineering, Social Studies, Math, and Language Arts skills into one research-based scientific investigation and presentation. We are so proud of our Decatur scientists and engineers! Thank you for checking in with us this week:)
