The West Geauga Kiwanis Club is now underway in preparing for the 2020 STEM Fair on January 18th.  STEM Fair is an acronym for
science/technology/engineering & math.  Students from
West Geauga High School, Middle School, Home Schooled in the WG School District, Key Club Members, and invited students, who will be conducting individual research projects of their own choice as well as problem solving competitions.

 

  Students will also be competing with individual technical research projects of their own interest.  In addition, students may choose to compete in math,  and the popular Junk Box War.  Kiwanis members will be visiting the schools to answer questions of students who wish to participate.  As you may recall, West Geauga was one of only three high schools in the country to receive Intel's prestigious Technology Award.

 

If you are interested in the success of our high school in technology, be sure to attend  the STEM Fair on Saturday, January 18th, 2020 at 8:00 AM to find out more.
