On this Sunday’s edition of News You Can Use on WTIC NewsTalk 1080 at
5:30a and 9:00a, host Ann Baldwin invites Dr. Frank LaBanca, Director of
the Connecticut Science and Engineering Fair and Principal of Westside
Middle School Academy Magnet in Danbury, to come speak about the 74th
annual CT Science and Engineering Fair
set to begin March 1, 2022.
This is not just any old science fair with
the exploding volcano, this is a new age
where students, grades 7-12, are able to
display their work and ideas that can truly
make a difference in society. Although the
fair is still through zoom, there are
thousands of students who compete and are funneled down to around 500
who participate and vie for over 500 thousand dollars in awards and many
other opportunities such as attending the International Science Fair in
Atlanta, Georgia this May for the top students. If you or someone you know
is a STEM professional, scientist, or professor and would be interested in
becoming a judge or sponsor, go to www.ctsciencefair.org and apply today.
