Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I was wondering what are some other science fairs in the US this year/

Please Exclude ISEF, STS, and ISWEEEP

Hi,

You should go to Science Buddies Home page and check out he competitions tab, Here is their list of Science Fair Competitions:

https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... fair.shtml

You might want to search google for Chemistry, Biology or Physics Olympiads, as there are competitive examinations leading to national and international competitions. Winning even locally can lead to an expense paid trip to a science camp and competition and possibly a trip to a foreign country for an international competition. These look like they could be REALLY FUN, and possibly provide a chance at a merit scholarship to excellent colleges/universities.

Good luck!
