Hello Science Fair Friends, Sponsors, and Alumni,
The four top high school winners of the Connecticut State Science Fair and the top two winners of the Science Horizons Regional Fair are packing their bags and heading to San Jose, California, Sunday, May 9. There, they will compete in The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF), the world’s largest pre-college competition of science and engineering.
It is a tradition of our Fair to provide newsletters detailing our group’s adventures for our sponsors and friends. The newsletters will be emailed to you in advance of being posted on the fair’s website. A limited number of photos will be attached to the emails but a great many more will be available through the CSF website. There will be approximately five email newsletters, one for each major event.
