Student Scientists Display Work at UES

PACE's (Partnership for Acceleration, Challenge and Enrichment) science fair continues to grow, with 76 student scientists putting their projects on display at the group's third annual science fair last week. 

The fair was held at the on Tuesday.

PACE chair Suzanne Kenny said it was their biggest fair yet and gave credit to coordinator Sandy Saouaf, PACE treasurer, for making "a fantastic investment in putting the fair together each year, including engaging township parents and teachers in mentoring roles to assist the student scientists."

Saouaf said previously the purpose of the science fair is to "give students exposure to subjects that are outside of their scientific curriculum, and also a way for them to share (what they've learned) with other students and the community."

There were 50 projects, involving more than 60 students, in , a 40 percent increase from the 2010 fair.
