Science and STEM Fair

 
San Carlos School District Science/STEM Fair 2024-2025
The San Carlos School District Science Fair is a community-based mentoring program. The goal of the program is for students who want/need assistance with their project to be mentored by Science professionals from the SCSD parent and broader community. The Mentor Program complements and reinforces the California Standards for Science and supports student learning of the scientific method. As a result of this partnership, our students produce exceptional STEM fair projects that are competitive in the County, Bay Area, State and National competitions. The San Carlos School District Science Fair is open to all students in grades 5-8 attending Arroyo Upper Elementary, Mariposa Upper Elementary, Central Middle School, Tierra Linda Middle School, or San Carlos Charter Learning Center.
