The WVMS STEM Fair is a school-sponsored activity to support and supplement our regular curriculum of classroom instruction. The STEM Fair encourages our students’ interest in science, and helps them develop their inquiry and investigation skills. Best of all, the STEM Fair puts a well-deserved spotlight on each student’s sense of accomplishment and pride in their completed research projects!

The WVMS STEM Fair…

• enables students to exhibit their projects and share ideas with other students and
  community members.
• provides opportunities for students to receive feedback from scientists, teachers and
  peers.
• provides students with exciting opportunities to apply the scientific method and their science process skills to explore a topic they choose.

What is a STEM Project?
A STEM fair project is a unique way for students to pose questions for which they must seek out answers and to satisfy their own curiosity about the world around them. A STEM fair project is an experiment, a research effort, a collection of scientific items, or display of scientific apparatus presented for viewing. It represents the efforts of a student’s investigation into some area of interest and provides a way for the student to share the results of those investigations. Through the development of a science fair project, students gain a first-hand appreciation of the work of scientists and the value of their discoveries.
