& Problems > Science Fair
A science fair research/engineering project can be the beginning of a competition
odyssey towards college scholarships and cash awards.
The student first competes in the
SCI://TECH Exposition Science Fair
in February. Then, if successful, may advance to the
Science Engineering Fair of Houston
in March, the ExxonMobil Texas Science and Engineering Fair
in April, and the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair
in May. The Academy has had at least one student advance to the International Fair
every year since 1992. It is possible to win a full-ride scholarship through these competitions.
As a senior, the student may also enter two major research project
competitions: the Siemens Westinghouse Competition
and the Intel Science Talent Search.
Two Academy students were quite successful in these competitions in 2003 and won major
cash awards.
Other opportunities include the
Texas Junior Science and Humanities Symposium
in January and the NCSSSMST Research Symposium in June. Academy students are chosen
annually to participate in these events as well.
