On Thursday, March 22, 2007, we hosted the 24th Annual Mineral Area College Science Fair.  The Fair was open to students in grades 6-12.  The categories were Behavioral and Social Science, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth Science, Engineering, Mathematics, and Physics. 

Changes to the 2007 Fair included:

• The major change for this year’s Fair was that the students did NOT need to send a $5 entry fee.  Mineral Area College picked up the cost of this fee that paid for the science fair T-shirt and certificate for students attending the Fair.

• Another change was the name of the Fair.  The fair was begun by the Math-Science Department which split into two departments many years ago.  The fair continues to involve the disciplines of psychology, math, and computer science under the heading of Science Fair.

• Another change was that students would be asked to remove their projects from the fair if the project was determined to be unsafe to the fair participants.

•  The other change was that the Fair was held on a Thursday instead of a Saturday.
